i am still under the learning that it is impossible to anonymize data to the extent necessary for law enforcement and the judiciary to not be able to pierce. Furthermore, the implication here is that we'd use old notes of people long since dead to train the LLMs necessary to do this work.

Since this is a soft science, trends, names, and diagnostics have radically changed. To paraphrase Carlin: "Used to be 'shell shocked', then came 'battle fatigue', then came 'post-traumatic stress disorder'; we went from 2 syllables that accurately described it to eight syllables and we've added a dash and completely removed the humanity that may have helped these people get the attention and care they deserved."

I don't comment that flippantly.

And i wasn't really speaking to you, i didn't want to top comment, and i didn't want to read past your top comment to find a more appropriate place because i was already getting eye-twitches from all of the hot takes above your comment.
