Heard a story that a doctor used llm to prescribe medicine for chronic issue that had terrible side effects and another doc had to cancel it. Come to find out the labs didn’t even match the meds. It’s over, there’s nothing more for us to do. Fucking hell world.


My ex dealt with this a lot. She has chronic health problems, and one of her specialists moved to an LLM based ‘scribe.’ It would routinely misinterpret her, littering her official file with symptoms she didn’t have, claiming she hadn’t tried remedies she’d explicitly said she tried, and hallucinating all sorts of other garbage. Then at the next appointment, the doctor would open by just reading this garbage off and chiding her for not doing x, claiming she had y but then saying it was z, etc. And the whole appointment would turn into correcting the record instead of anything productive. So frustrating and irresponsible
