> I still don't want a fucking audio recorder in my doctor's office

Why? Doctors have the strictest privacy regulations I know of. It's the one place where I'd be least uncomfortable with a recording, because there's nothing they can do with it other than use it to provide healthcare to me.

> or a fucking AI that sits in between me and my doctor.

The expected arrangement is that the AI would be alongside you and your doctor, so that your doctor can spend time interacting with you instead of playing transcriptionist and dictating your statement into your chart.
