I believe making Dr. Al-Hashimi's dictation app solely an AI solution is a disservice to the current state of speech-to-text. It's more than just people who dictate notes. This is harming people who rely on speech-to-text to live, and it's not just an app. It's another sub-industry that has been gutted by generative AI. There are people who rely on speech-to-text and literally have no ability to type for a long list of reasons that have nothing to do with laziness or using it as a shortcut. It's their lifeline to the outside world and actually incredibly beneficial, and panning it off as just a generative AI thing, rather than something that's been around for decades, is really bothering me. Also, there were, and maybe still are, people who do nothing but transcribe medical dictation for their job/career, just like the translators for ASL and non-English-speaking patients. Like, the dismissiveness most of the characters have for both is true to life, but please, please, please have someone call them out on that because it could be a good opportunity for character development, and automatic transcription is not a bad thing. This has been a deeply flawed tool for a while. Generative AI has made it exponentially worse, and it should never have been forced into it, especially in critical environments like an ED or even ORs, because there are legit surgical devices that operate solely on voice command.
