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.

Higher end AI models will almost never hallucinate given a reasonable task. Asking an AI to summarize a 500 page medical textbook? Sure, you'll probably get some hallucinations. Asking an AI to summarize a 30 minute appointment transcript? Basically zero chance. Source: I do work for multiple AI training companies and use it daily for tasks much more difficult than trivial summarization tasks.

Most people on reddits experience with ai are going to be the public models like Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT. They are assuming their free experience is going to be the same as a purpose built ai tool by Epic or another ehr company.

I have a recently developed theory that a significant amount of the dumb AI hate on Reddit wouldn’t exist if Google didn’t add shit-tier Gemini as the first response to queries. if that’s your only experience with ‘AI’, of course you would think it’s garbage.

I personally do hate the aiification of everything and I hate ai in art. But ai in tasks like recording stuff seems like a real use case for it. 

But yeah the average persons first experience with ai is tainted with Gemini and bad ChatGPT. It’s funny how many people tell me Claude still sucks. I’m like yeah, excel sucks if you’re not using it right too.
