In this particular use case, no. The LLM not only transcribes, but it summarizes, drafts, and categorizes as well (ICD-10 codes, cross-referencing medical history, etc.).
Very useful for overworked and under-resourced healthcare workers.
Look, AI bolt-ons to existing software and processes often do suck. But this specific instance is a real positive use-case.
Every technology has a place where it’s useful - with LLMs, it’s just mostly been “let’s throw it at everything.” In most cases, it’ll fall away as useless, and a few cases, it’ll stick where it really adds value.
