Welcome to “Is Ambient Listening Right for You?” Or, in the alternative, “Free AI Tools and Other Expensive Mistakes.”
Nick van Terheyden, MD, the special guest during the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays, says he has seen enough of artificial intelligence (AI) “helpers” turn doctors into unpaid editors and part-time exorcists for hallucinating software.
“Clinicians signed up to heal humans, not debug bots,” Dr. Nick said. “Yet here we are, creating ‘AI slop’ so thick it needs its own billing code.”
Dr. Nick also references a Harvard study that says your coworkers think using AI makes you less competent; meanwhile, MIT says you’re probably not getting a dime’s worth of value. But don’t worry, you’re getting your AI tool for free! Which, like the “free drinks” at an all-inclusive resort, often tastes mostly like disappointment.
Finally, Dr. Nick offers this parting shot: “Remember: your medical records can’t be ‘vibe-coded’ clean. And while lawyers blame the AI for their made-up filings, you don’t get that luxury. Choose your AI tool wisely, because ‘no hallucinations added’ shouldn’t have to be in your note.”
The broadcast will also feature these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:
