I would like to know much more before I trusted this technique to make a diagnosis about early onset dementia. For example the early onset of hearing loss makes people much more tentative in their speech patterns because they don’t understand what they actually hear. Even with hearing aids the loss of tones and sounds eventually make an impact that leaves people wondering what is wrong when the individual does respond correctly to questions or give correct answers. The problem is hearing loss, but the interpretation could be senility. Likewise with the development of cataracts. I discovered my mother was actually guestimating not actually seeing when she gave me a ride home and had to stop to open and close two gates. She overcompensated by stopping much farther beyond the first gate and stopped much too close to the second. I realized she couldn’t see and had my sister take her to have her eyes tested. She had quite bad cataracts and needed surgery. Once her eyes healed she started doing a whole range of activities she had stopped doing.

Absolutely, I think we need to know more and it is interesting that this might be possible. The question is will this be good or bad to humanity we will know with time.

This is a technology that is so flawed that it cannot even solve the simplest of puzzles a child can solve and you trust it with telling you what to do about your children and others will read this and think that they should use it also. What credentials do YOU have to make any recommendations like this? How long have you studied this technology? There are many writers here I am proud to be with. You are not one of them.

I think it is great to ask questions about what is working and what is not working when it comes to AI. I have my concerns as well with this technology and I think time will tell how good it works. Just like with any technology there is good and bad to each side.

It is very interesting to learn about all the advancements of AI and learn more about its capabilities. I am concerned about miscalculations and wrongful diagnoses as each person is different. I guess time will tell how this technology can help us.
