Brace yourselves: today, the NHS kicks off the full roll-out with robots certified to feel empathy (as long as there are no stairs; they don’t do stairs just yet). https://www.linkedin.com/posts/antlerboy_assisteddying-artificialintelligence-publicsector-activity-7312767275047014400-ZS6n

Brace yourselves: today, the NHS kicks off the full roll-out with robots certified to feel empathy (as long as there are no stairs; they don’t do stairs just yet).
To be fair, the trials haven’t quite been completely 100% successful — conditions in A&E seem to have overloaded the compassion trips, bureaucracy fried their circuits, and someone encouraged them to re-brand their badges and intro from ‘Hi, I’m your Robotic Process Associate, your plastic pal who’s fun to be with!’ to ‘Dr RPA, MD, head of the Department of Diagnostic Medicine certified in infectious disease and nephrology’. The BMA have called an Emergency General Meeting to deny responsibility and begin the transition process.
Effectiveness tanks ran dry as they overanalysed every bed allocation, and I think I saw one sob into a clipboard. However, they have managed to work out how to conceal the ‘Friends and Family Rating’ system unless they come across a satisfied patient, and have successfully occupied the Junior Doctors’ office for recharging purposes… oh, and they can do synchronised tiktoks!
Even better, they’re apparently upgradeable for #AssistedDying! Coming soon.

When systems drain even robots dry, what’s left for the humans to lean on?
