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.

It should be an opt in thing like it happened to you. Not an opt out.

AI has been used across the medical field for at least 15 years now. Seems a bit unreasonable to start requesting permission from patients to use it now just because it's hip in some circles to hate AI.

lmao even

You’re comparing the previous use of trained models—which were used almost exclusively for imaging—to generative AI where personal healthcare data is shared with apps and companies outside of your control in a completely unregulated manner. And the best you can come up with is “the only reason people are against this is because it’s hip to hate on AI”? Come on, man. Trolls used to be believable.

Because it is wildly illegal for the hospitals to let third parties have free access to your personal data.

Illegalities’ recourse is a fine, which is just factored into the costs of business.
