> Why da f*#$ do they have to continue developing a technology which they think will replace droves of people by machines??

Say, you wouldn't happen to write software for a living, would you?

I do. developed predictive models for health monitoring of large machines and then fraud detection in health care. Why do you ask?

Does automated fraud detection not replace the work of human auditors? Do these large machines automate tasks? If you believe automating human labor is an evil, then I hate to break it to you, your in hell's chatroom. "Software is eating the world" was published 15 years ago. What did you think that meant?

		>>Does automated fraud detection not replace the work of human auditors? No. Human auditors use our product. They still make the decision whether something is fraud or not. The product is auditing things that weren't being audited before. Why you might ask. because we didn't know we were supposed to audit that stuff. Multiple investigations revealed new patterns of healthcare fraud and we baked those into our product. Zero auditors were replaced by our product. Millions of dollars of new fraud was caught with our product. >>Do these large machines automate tasks? Yes they do. You are really looking at this in a zero-sum way when it's not.

Not the GP, but I used to do. And I share the sentiment even though I'm out of the game.
