there was good anti-AI snark in the latest episode of The Pit where the new-temp leader was "demonstrating" how the AI app saves charting time by actively transcribing the long patient conversation into notes, and all the med students were like "whoa" because charting does take a bunch of time.
and then one doctor, not the leading doctor who should be verifying it (but wasn't), immediately caught that the machine logged one medication as a completely different one. a med student hits the snark: "AI... Almost Intelligent", so the administrator covers by saying, "and you should all thoroughly review the notes" but the beat is just enough to make it everyone suspicious. because obviously the value proposition is letting it do the notes because a metro ER is a chaotic series of emergencies, so are you really going to come back and review your those now extremely verbose notes for accuracy after a bunch of crazy shit has happened? are you going to catch the fuck ups?
i like that show. the messaging isn't offensive, the war between competent workers and two faced administration and austerity politics is constant, and the scenes are always moving fast. it's basically an anxiety fabricator and i have an addiction to that sort of media. also, the concept of each hour unfolding in real time over a 12+ hour shift (12 hour season) is intense. it's nice to be able to step back, but it makes it all the more crushing to know that people in these sorts of roles are just having to roll with it.
