So I've heard. I also know that several doctor's offices here use AI transcription. I'm sure I have a legal right to demand that they be switched off (I'm worried about privacy and accuracy here), but then I've got to be an asshole and increase the workload on my well-meaning doctor who probably had no say in any of this.

This is gonna get so much worse. It's like the smartphone revolution on steroids – and we've seemingly learned nothing! We're in dire straits.

I went through a lot of medical stuff a few months ago, and every single doctor asked me if they could use the device for that instead of typing it into the computer themselves. One of them explained that it allowed them to focus their whole attention on me, instead of partially on the computer for the inputting of the data while we talked.

I'm surprised that your doctors weren't asking, and instead were just assuming.
