I don't post often or ever so don't remember, you can't change the title to be more reflective of what it is?

A shorter version may be

Honest question, why aren’t pills dispensed by machines?

I get that a pharmacist should review the prescription. And let’s say you even want employee-customer interaction; which is great.

But dispensing X pills from one bottle to another bottle is a solved problem right?

estearum•11m ago
Machines cost a ton of money and need to be maintained?

As those two variables change, I'm sure they will replace the dispensing function for pharmacists. In fact this already does happen at a lot of pharmacies these days. Machines put the pills in bottles, then a pharmacist hands the bottle to you.

There are pill counter machines! it's a solved problem for sure.
a2tech•10m ago
They are in large setups. Including mail order and bulk dispensing places (like Walmart pharmacy—most pills are dispensed at central locations and delivered to the store prepackaged).
DriverDaily•2m ago
I think that’s the idea behind those centralized pharmacies like Amazon health. Easier than putting a pill dispensing assembly line in every CVS.

A paradoxical situation here is that they are probably not using the frontier models because compliance and other stamps of approval but this packaged approved AI is making silly mistakes in reading forms

It seems like the article's unspoken consensus is if they hired people (ideally local) and paid them a living wage it would go back to working well enough like it did before they attempted the bot.

I wonder why no one brought that up as a solution?
