Error by AI scribe during medical appointment leaves patient devastated

I’ve used AI for medical transcription before and it is absolutely incredible. It’s not just a word for word text, but a detailed clinical breakdown of everything discussed.

All you have to do is simply read the damn thing thoroughly and correct whatever minor errors pop up.

Takes 95% less time.

Exactly. It is a tool for professionals to use to speed up existing processes. It is not a replacement for people, regardless of what the marketers tell you so you buy their product. I don’t understand how there aren’t thousands of lawsuits against these AI companies for their blatantly false advertising.

AI keeps proving this day by day when people try to make it a replacement and have it blow up in their faces every day.

Hell, I just found out a few months ago my father’s office (he’s a lawyer) still did transcriptions of court proceedings manually! Full blown lawyers wasting expensive man hours doing that. As soon as I found out I got some random whisper cpp frontend and slapped it on a random computer

As long as they still have someone verifying and correcting mistakes, that’s a decent solution. It doesn’t need to be complicated. Whisper is by no means perfect, but from my experience it handles 90% fine, only having to listen and correct 10% is a huge improvement over transcribing everything manually.

The issues with so much of the current AI use is implementations that completely remove trained human oversight from the equation because the AI companies position it as a complete replacement for employees.
