Some 92 percent have delayed or abandoned medical care because of costs, according to a survey of 1,507 U.S. adults by financial services firm JG Wentworth.

Healthcare costs aren’t expected to go down through 2027, a June study from financial firm PwC found.

“Health plans are projecting the highest medical cost trend in nearly two decades, with commercial healthcare cost trend expected to rise to 9 [percent] in 2027,” the study said.

Factors such as AI-enabled revenue optimization tools and more use of behavioral health benefits will influence the increase, PwC noted.

— J.R. Duren, “A shocking 92 percent of US adults not going to the doctor because it’s too expensive”

I've delayed and abandoned medical care because of costs.

And as if it wasn't already pretty fucking upsetting that this is even a thing in this country—one of the world's wealthiest—it's going to get worse, in part, because of "AI-enabled revenue optimization tools." Those are cursed words, a dehumanizing euphemism for "billionaires fucking us with their fancy new tech toys."

AI systems are stochastic parrots. They mix and match what they have learned by reading what we have produced over the decades.

Some people have told me that AI systems suggest solutions similar, or identical, to those I was already suggesting in some posts on my blogs back in 2020, 2021, 2022... before the AI era. And yet, every now and then, someone writes to me saying that one of my blog posts from back then is "clearly AI generated because AI suggests the same method".

This phenomenon is becoming fairly recurring, and I know at least two people who have stopped contributing publicly to Open Source and education because they got tired of being accused of producing slop.

If we want to stay away from all this, if we want to demonstrate that AI is harmful and not a solution, shouting at anything that "might look AI generated, and often isn't" is not how we solve the problem. Let's produce good content. Let's explain the long term cost of all this. Let's do useful things. Let's show what the human mind is capable of doing great things.

Because otherwise, we risk the opposite: only AI systems and vibe coders will remain, while everyone else, disgusted, walks away for good from this wonderful world of ours.

If we want a world with less AI slop, let’s not make it unbearable for humans to create.
