Fuck me if I want to have sessions with my psychiatrist that aren’t recorded and transcribed by AI. Tech companies lie all the time about what they promise, like encrypting their data, and then just pay the fines after the fact, because scraping our data to train models made more profit than the fine. Yes, my doctor rolled out a system for telehealth that prompted me to sign documents agreeing to the use of AI. A procedure code and diagnosis code is the only thing that’s required for medical billing in instances where prior approval for services isn’t required, there’s no need for a transcription of our entire fucking session word for word for my DR to bill and get paid; especially when there is plenty of transcription software he could purchase to operate in house, WITHOUT AI.
AI is being forced down our throats in so many industries that have NOTHING to do with writing code, for the purposes of reducing headcount because the line must go up.
I totally agree with you on it being forced where it doesn’t belong. I am just not for abolishing it or whatever was proposed here. I think there is middle ground. It can be useful for somethings.
In many cases it is being forced on the workforce so that some senior vp can say they made AI happen and get a nice big raise. In others it’s so they can say it in the earnings call to boost the stock price. But forcing the workforce to do stupid things for these reasons is nothing new.
