    Images Show AI’s Take on Future of England’s NHS

    Bleak AI-generated images garner far more agreement from viewers than they probably should.
    By Surgical TimesFebruary 19, 2024

    Some 1.3 million people have seen a glimpse of the future of the NHS—according to an AI image generator given unknown prompts.

    The images are non-factual but eye-opening takes on what the future could hold for England’s publicly-funded National Health Service.

    Perhaps more alarming than the images is that so many viewers suggest strong agreement with the poor state of the nation’s healthcare service.

    Artificial intelligence image generators use a series of user-generated prompts to paint various pictures. 

    Changing the prompts changes the image output.

    Shared on TikTok by “AI Predicts,” an account with 11,000 followers, the series of images show “the future of the NHS” over the “next 25 years.”

    Far from being actual predictions, the images are merely intriguing.

    “AI Shows the next 25 years of NHS — How many of these images are True?,” the creator’s caption asks.

    The content creator’s prompts weren’t shared and aren’t known. But viewers suggest the image outputs are pretty accurate.

    Given unknown prompts, an AI image creator painted a bleak picture.

    Viewers say they agree the picture is bleak, many suggesting the images show present-day reality, nevermind what the future holds.

    A relative handful expressed appreciation for the NHS: “I thank you NHS from bottom of my heart,” one viewer says. “NHS is amazing and so are the staff… it’s a shame some abuse it,” user Steph writes.

    But the vast majority of comments appear to share agreement with the dark picture painted:

    • “25 years? That’s the current situation!” – SirThumper writes
    • “that’s not 25 years away that’s this year.” – Ricky Allen
    • That’s not the future; that’s now.” – SarahSearle67
    • “This is now.” – AlphaBravoZero
    • “This is all now not in the future.”

    Several viewers also suggest they do or did work for the NHS, and that they agreed there are problems:

    “What do you mean next 25 years it’s happening now I know I work for the NHS,” user Alice writes.

    “I can confirm wages are bad as I work in the NHS” Kaylee adds.

    “As NHS nurse that’s seems to be the reality. #sad” Rosemary writes.

    “I’m a healthcare worker at NHS and I moved abroad,” user AB writes.

    “NHS is past the point of return. It will be privatised in the next ten years and then healthcare will start to improve,” Jay Sun Day Vis writes.

    “I had to go to urgent care last night and it was like walking into a 3rd world hospital in a war zone. People old and young laid on the corridor floor,” viewer MRSPCE89 writes.

    Another viewer tagged Dr. Michael Mrozinski, asking him to comment on or ‘stitch’ the video, as “it’s a scarily realistic representation of what’s actually happening!”

    To which the doctor implies he agrees.

    Like the AI-generated images suggest will keep happening in the future, Mrozinski himself actually “fled the NHS to work Down Under,” according to the Daily Mail.

    Dr. Michael Mrozinski, who “fled the NHS” according to the Daily Mail, suggests he agrees the viral TikTok depicts “a scarily realistic representation of what’s actually happening!”
