What's the difference? I thought they both use the same underlying technology?
Sure, but that's kind of like saying simple addition and fourier transforms are the same because they both use numbers.
Are you sure they don't use the same exact type of neural network, but are just trained on different datasets? Do you have any link that shows those cancer diagnosis AIs use a different technology?
Edit: nvm, I found it. Those ai diagnostic tools uses convolutional neural network (CNN) which is not the same as LLMs.
I reckon it's fair to refer to them both under the broad term "A.I.", though, even if it is technically incorrect. The semi-evolved have all decided to call it A.I., so were all calling it A.I., I guess.
A similar type of machine learning (neural networks, transformer model type thing), but I assume one is built and trained explicitly on medical records instead of scraping the internet for whatever. Correct me if I am wrong!
