    I’m not sure if you noticed, but people who write for a living have suddenly started writing quite a lot about how technology that can write and generate media are bad.

      Which is so silly, because AI writing still needs a human editor. I write for a living and there tons of work that involves using AI as a tool to increase productivity rather than to replace writers completely… like photoshop didnt put photographers out of business it just changed the work flow.

        I work in a clinical setting where some Doctors are trying an AI program for generating their clinical notes out of the casual conversation between them and the patient. It’s way off its mark for what we demand in quality. It requires significant editing from the healthcare provider, and if the note is very robust it quickly becomes more of a chore than modern voice transcription. Our review is not great so far.

          That’s a terrible way to be using a LLM for generating clinical notes.

          Sounds more like trying to use a screwdriver to hammer in screws than an issue with the screwdriver itself.

            Right. It seemed like a reach when I first heard of it, but that’s how it’s advertised and the Hospital was sold on at least trying it out.

            This is what I think about AI being forced into many things these days. Feels more like an attempt to justify subscription plans than anything actually productive.
