Or, you know, some people like their fucking jobs. Not everything needs to be some min-max'ed income thing - sometimes people do what they love, as utterly mind-blowing and completely incomprehensible as that apparently is to the folks raised on social media.

> Providers are arming up with AI to listen in on provider-patient sessions to prove the billing codes are legit

This is not a decrease in quality of care - this is your provider having actual evidence of the care needs they discussed with you when they close their note, hours or days after seeing you.

Except AI has an unacceptably high rate of hallucinations that will result in adverse health outcomes if not outright death.

Similarly, I think anything we can do to help take the burden off the mundane parts of the job has helped clinicians focus on the actual hard parts. Where we get... bristling, is when there's any suggestion of "legislating" (operationally, not like, governmentally) care patterns and telling clinicians how to care for their patients.

Which is great, because anyone suggesting AI should replace clinical judgment and work is an idiot.
