    Doctor reportedly forced to apologise after AI makes error about illegal drugs

    ABC News says AI is listening to medical appointments but not always hearing correctly. A user sharing its report alleges that Anthropic and OpenAI salespeople are pressuring hospitals to adopt similar tools.

    TLDR

    ABC News reports that a doctor was forced to apologise after AI made a “scary” error about illegal drugs. The outlet says AI is listening to many people's medical appointments but isn't always hearing correctly.

    A user sharing the report contrasts those problems with fears of a superhuman AI killing people. They allege that Anthropic and OpenAI salespeople are telling hospitals to use tools like these or get left behind.

    @timnitGebru (@dair-community.social/bsky.social)@timnitGebruSo while you're thinking about a super human, super "intelligent" alien being killing you, here's what's really happening. Best believe Anthropic and OpenAI sales people are at hospitals telling them to use tools like this or get left behind. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-14/ai-medical-scribe-error-leaves-patient-devastated/10703167221d
    Dr Rachel Claire Morris, Shadow Secretary of Snark@5By5CreativityThe scariest thing about AI is that actions and outcomes that’d land you and I in jail have been committed by techbroligarchs daily, globally – starting with theft of my work and that of millions of others – yet the only consequences are wealth, power, and government buy-ins.21d
    Zachary Nelson@nelsonnets*checks notes* So the actual danger isn't superintelligent aliens, it's unverified AI tools shipped into hospitals with the review step skipped. Verification and accountability matter more than sci-fi scenarios 🤔20d
