"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Oh definitely. That's exactly why I specified that it needs to be explicitly transcription software. Even speech to text on my phone gets it wrong with enough regularity that I check it every time. I can't imagine what it would be like if I was using less common words In a medical setting. I don't love the idea of every word said in a doctor's office being recorded and that recording being on record forever, but to a certain extent I can understand doctors who might think that would be helpful. What I don't think would be helpful is having anyone except the doctor or another trained medical professional summarize that information. I do understand that doctors are human and mess up and miss things and might even take worse notes than AI would, but at least it is a Doctor who is doing that. It is a human being who met the other human being and sat in a room with them who is making these decisions.
