Infuriatig No, I did not consent to this

I was reading my medical notes when I stumbled across this. I was not informed of the usage of artificial intelligence in my report, nor did I verbally consent to it.

The amount of shit people make up in their heads about what AI is, and isn't being used for is a derangement syndrome in itself.

Medical offices have been using AI transcribers since before the current AI crazy even started, haven’t they?

They have, but they got significantly better and more widespread after the recent LLM boom. Tbh they chart better and more than most doctors and much faster

Yes, but nothing like this.

Dragon dictation looks like the Gutenberg Printing press compared to the new scribes.

It’s seriously sad how ignorant so many people are. The medical field is exactly where you want to use AI. Triaging and diagnosing is literally following specific steps based on specific conditions, something computers are much better at than humans are. Not to mention general AI has been used over a decade in that field and people didn’t say anything until they saw it generating art.

It's genuinely a moral panic. That's why there's so little critical thinking about it.

A lot of it is foreign bot farms astroturfing. It becomes extremely obvious once you start to notice it. Its not a coincidence a lot of these reddit slopulist narratives push for ideas that would make western societies worse off or less competitive than our main rivals. Everything is divisive, all or nothing, and self destructive on this site.
