Don't help him. Let him figure it out by himself, else they (he and hospital) will never learn.

A hospital could not learn a bigger lesson from this person than their existing big players.

(Screams in "deployed in 2026 a new product that only works in internet explorer" in healthcare).

I work at a university and we still have some workstations that need IE as well, for a healthcare vendor app that needs ActiveX. Up until recently we even had some machines running Windows 7.
I don't have time for that. I just told him he needs to hire somebody
I was going to say to open yourself up as a contractor and scape some of the money off top. But it sounds like you dint need that opportunity.

That sadly does seem to be the trajectory of 5-10 years from now, though. I can't speak to if "AI is the future" of 30+ years from now, but these coming years sounds rife for "janitors" to clean up all the slop being produced by newly empowered idea guys

Or, "help" by asking questions, or otherwise by sharing an AI review/analysis/suggestions, since they're into that kind of thing.

Definitely cleaning up other people's AI mess for them for free is not a good use of time.
