>At the same time, do you really want every conversation you have with your doctor recorded

Yes. This is what medical records are. They've been kept by doctors for a reason.

It's not like the doctor is talking to you about which anime series are the best. You're talking about your health, your body, your disease, your treatment.

It's important to keep track of that.

>Plus what doctor has time to sit down and re-listen to your visit to check to make sure the AI didn't screw up at some point in the future anyway

No doctor.

Which is why it really should be their (or their assistant's) job to record the relevant parts of the conversations.

>At what point does it become a larger waste of time and money to babysit an incompetent AI than just not using one in the first place?

At this point, as the audit shows.

Except the industry (both the AI vendors and healthcare) are going YOLO¹ and relying on AI anyway.

>There are some good uses for AI, but I'm not convinced that this (or many other cases where accuracy matters) is one of them.

This has always been the case, but the marketing now has reached of point of gaslighting in trying to make people collectively forget that or pretend that it's not the case.

Once hard evidence is presented (like in this case), the defense is invariably that it's a temporary quality issue that's going to be resolved as the AI improves Any Day Now™, and that it's wise to live as if it were the case already² (and everyone who disagrees is a fool that Will Be Left Behind™).

The level of fervor in this rhetoric gives me an impression that the flaw is so fundamental that it won't be fixed in any form of AI based on today's technologies, that the AI vendor leadership knows this, and that the entire industry is, at this point, is a grand pump-and-dump scheme.

I hope I'm wrong.

² This is called a phantasm.
