    We validated our framework through ex vivo experiments on cholecystectomy, a commonly practiced minimally invasive procedure, and conducted ablation studies to evaluate key components of the system.

    I was going to say…

    Even just properly identifying the gallbladder in a human body is incredibly impressive. But that’s not what happened.

    Like, they performed a “crucial part” of a gallbladder removal operation on gallbladders that had already been removed from the human body?

    Did it tie a bow on it and light a candle?

    Like most shit about AI, it sounds super impressive if you don’t know what’s happening…

      It seems logical they would test it on extracted gall bladders first. Finding a gall bladder during surgery seems far from an insurmountable task for AI.

        The article doesn’t mention AI, but only a “framework” basically for moving.

        Are you one of those who thinks “AI” will just solve lots of stuff?

        A cholecystectomy is removing a gall bladder…

        So how crucial could a step be on the gall bladder after it was removed?

        They’re not removing healthy ones for transplants, it’s something done on literal medical waste.

        Finding a gall bladder during surgery seems far from an insurmountable task for AI.

        It is incredibly difficult…

        There is a shit ton of human variation, shits just crammed wherever and it all pretty much looks the same. We still beat AI by selecting traffic lights in a picture…

        Analyzing a scan? Yeah, that’s AI all day.

        Real life? A human will keep winning for decades.
