Just to clarify a couple of things from my end, based on what actually happened in my case: the consultant who admitted he didn't check his AI notes was actually the youngest of the three clinicians. The two GPs were more mature. So age really isn't the factor here. It can happen at any career stage, for all sorts of reasons (dyslexia, language barriers, overwork, or simply overconfidence in the AI). I completely agree with you that the systems and communication across the NHS are often dire, and that it's a miracle things work as well as they do. But I also think we need to be careful not to excuse what's happening. Whether someone is young or old, experienced or newly qualified, the bottom line is: if AI is being used to write clinical notes, those notes should be checked before they become permanent, and patients should be told that's happening. Your point about testing AI in a field you know well is a great one, it really shows how convincingly wrong it can be. Which is slightly terrifying, but also oddly reassuring that humans aren't obsolete just yet 😉 Wishing everyone here good health and accurate notes!
