Sanctuary strategies
Sanctuary strategies are common responses to AI in health professions practice and education, among them denial, retreat, restriction, and resignation. Each stakes professional value on what AI can't yet do, or on keeping it out.
Similarities between AI and human thinking: What if we're the language models?
Discussion of AI and human cognition usually dwells on the differences. Turn the question around and the terminology of language models describes human thinking surprisingly well: context windows, biased training data, tokenisation, temperature, hallucination, system prompts, and pattern matching all have human counterparts, some of which health professions education already has names for. The similarities say something about our own cognitive architecture, and the strength of our resistance to them says something about what our professional identities depend on.
