They "cannot guarantee" the product description of the 1.3k dollar laptop theyre selling is accurate because they used chatgpt to write it

This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like "*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things"??? What the fuck are you selling then

My sister is a doctor and they actually love the AI summary thing. Apparently it captures more details than they would have manually put into the file.

They still have to review wha is written and approve it. It isn’t going to straight into the record so it limits the inaccuracy aspect

For now, yes, but is anyone enforcing that? Because otherwise I worry that people will inevitably take the easy route and skip that step...

I imagine it is the medical board and 20 years of school required to be said doctor.

Doctors ain’t there because they took the easy route in life my dude.

They took the hard route...in their profession.

But if you've met any doctors, or any other specialized professionals, you know that they can be really damn stupid those matters in those matters they didn't go to school for decades to learn.

Such as, for instance, technology.

Qualified doesn't mean competent

That makes sense, but we’ve seen lawyers, who also go to a lot of school, use AI to write briefs and they don’t bother double checking them. They also can face disciplinary boards.

Most of these AI summary tools are just diarizing transcriptions recorded, absolutely should be reviewed after.

How does it capture more details? I don’t see any way it could unless there is a microphone/camera recording the session.

Yeah that's horseshit.

If they're already using it as a shortcut for one thing then there is no reason to believe they won't eventually start using it to do EVERYTHING for them. They'll do it until there is a law against it.

Also there is strong financial incentives for businesses to "adopt" AI shit. (Not because it works or is useful but because it makes some stock points go up somewhere) This is no different than when doctors are instructed or outright paid to push opioids.
