He did at least provide one real example of what he means by all this: "When a doctor can … spend more time with the patient, because the AI is doing the transcription and entering the records in the EMR system, entering the right billing code so that the healthcare industry is better served across the payer, the provider, and the patient, ultimately—that's an outcome that I think all of us can benefit from."

Can’t wait for AI to digitally hallucinate an extra zero into the mg dosage for my prescription!

AI is quickly becoming the poster child for a larger “problem” with the tech industry writ large, which is that we don’t really need more “progress.” Desktop OS’s pretty much peaked in the late aughts/early teens and it’s just been bloat, digital party tricks and built-in spyware. Mobile OS’es are just about there as well, just look at the negative reaction to the iOS “glass” feature. Smart devices themselves are overpowered for most use cases, and the new ones are mostly sold on “the camera is slightly nicer.” Calling a game “AAA” is used more as an insult. We don’t need “more” but the line on chart must go up so they keep pushing shit like this to manufacture artificial booms.
