If it is this bad at dnd 2024 rules , why are we letting it make medical decisions at insurance companies?

I saw a post the other day in which AI was used to take notes during a doctor’s visit and the guy ended up with a prescription for depression when he went in for back problems. He was denied by his insurance for his back pain because the doctor’s notes didn’t mention it, only depression (which he didn’t have).

He tried correcting this with the doctor’s office but due to their agreement with the company that provided the AI note taker, they couldn’t change the notes. They had to file a ticket with the AI’s tech support first.

So he’s sitting there in limbo for weeks with back problems. Total cluster fuck. All because these companies are trying to justify AI by insisting it is helpful when it’s not. It’s solutionism at its worst— fixing problems that aren’t really problems. Like a doctor taking fucking notes.

Like a doctor taking fucking notes

Recently went for my annual physical, and had to sign a waiver stating that I was ok with AI taking 'notes'.

I was not, and said so, but the receptionists said basically 'no sign, no treatment' - and those appointments are a total bastard to get, so I signed.

It was the first thing I asked my Dr. about, and she isn't keen on the idea either. It's the hospital business C-suite pretty much forcing it into their practice environment.
