    As far as I’m concerned, using AI of any sort inside of a doctor’s office is a grave violation of HIPAA

      Let me tell you about how medical transcriptionists used to do it: Sister in law was one, she didn’t seem to care about HIPAA too much, she and all her colleagues did lose their jobs about a 15-20 years ago when AI transcription software took over their jobs, but before that she was frequently given jobs because her predecessors made serious mistakes in their transcriptions.

        If she didn’t care about HIPAA, I’m glad she lost the job lol.

        If only we could fire AI too.

        Speech-to-text (a type of AI) has been around for a fair good years, but now they’re being paired with generative AI. This is the kind of thing that shouldn’t be paired with a generative LLM. A language model to identify words? Yes. Generative? No.

          Yes. It technically does improve accuracy (homophone correction, for example) but the occasional errors are worse and way less obvious.
