More ai bullshit!

diagnose cognitive decline in 60 seconds.

Im a retired psychotherapist and I would be hard pressed to come up with a diagnosis that quick.

I think these people are missing the most obvious fact. Our minds naturally deteriorate with age and has absolutely nothing to do with the onset of dementia.

These charlatans are taking advantage of those people who are worried about their parents.

this is the process:

VocalMaze can screen for signs of cognitive decline in about 60 seconds. You're shown an image, and you just describe what you see out loud into your device's microphone.

The site transcribes what you say and runs that text through a transformer (AI) model I fine-tuned to predict whether a person's language patterns resemble those seen in dementia. It doesn't analyze sound, tone, or emotion - just language.

clever stuff.

what a load of bollocks.

    Regardless, it performed as admirably as could be expected in at least one edge case.

    I declined so fast in 30 seconds, it failed to catch that. Doesn't claim to so you have to give some credit.

    I guess it does what it says on the tin as far as that 60 seconds goes, and you certainly get what you pay for ;)

"We have not detected any sign of dementia, with 97.99% confidence."

Dementia runs in the paternal side of the family but from what I know it doesn't start until the mid to late age 70s. I'm 61 so I have a few years yet.
