Made it up

An AI scribe listens to a consultation and writes the note that goes in the chart. Ontario's auditor general examined the tools approved for use by doctors in the province and reported that most produced inaccurate, incomplete or fabricated notes, with serious errors found across twenty programmes during procurement, and warned that a wrong note can produce a treatment plan that harms the patient. The specific failure is not mishearing: scribes have been found inserting diagnoses and examination findings that were never discussed. Read beside the Whisper case from 2024. That was one model invented sentences in the silences; this is a provincial health system having bought twenty products built on that class of model, and checking afterwards.
