Just Say No to #AI “scribes”, especially for medical appointments.
“When Rebecca Green arrived for her first appointment with a urologist, she was asked whether she consented to having the appointment transcribed by artificial intelligence (AI).
She said yes without hesitation.
"I don't want to be in her bad books or be that annoying patient who takes up more of her time," she said.
But that decision would cause her a lot of stress, with the AI scribe making up the serious but false claim that Ms Green was taking illegal drugs.”
#AI #slop

@drahardja I wonder why AI scribes use gen AI? I thought ML-based transcribers would be good enough 🤔

@gombang Because almost all of these systems are summarizers.
