My PCP wears Bluetooth headphones so that his notes are transcribed by his nurse. He always asks me if this is ok, and the device he wears is obviously visible. I can't imagine a world where your doctor would secretly spy on you. Fuck this noise.
It's 2026. His nurse is probably ChatGPT. I've straight up been asked if I was okay with my appt being transcribed by AI. Icky...

That is one of the legitimate uses. Unfortunately it's marred by the AI companies' complete lack of trustworthiness when it comes to data privacy and security. You can't know for certain they aren't just wrapping your personal medical notes into their ever growing store of training data.
