Ugh someone recently sent me LLM-generated meeting notes for a meeting that only a couple colleagues were able to attend. They sucked, a lot. Got a number of things completely wrong, duplicated the same random note a bunch of times in bullet lists, and just didn’t seem to reflect what was actually talked about. Luckily a coworker took their own real notes, and comparing them made it clear that LLMs are definitely causing more harm than good. It’s not exactly the same thing, but no, we’re not there yet.
Have you seen current doctor visit note summaries?
The bar is pretty low. A lot of these are made with conventional dictation software that has no sense of context when it misunderstands. Agree the consequences can be worse if the context is wrong, but I would guess a well programmed AI could summarize better on average than most visit summaries are currently. With this sort of thing there will be errors, but let’s not forget that there ARE errors.

Wait until you hear about doctors using AI to summarize visits 😎
What about it?
All the above would apply to doctor visit notes. Would you find that helpful?
Plus, they can hallucinate phrases or entire sentences
