I looked into AI scribes when they were new, finding them interesting, and spoke to many doctors. Across the board, the preference was for a human scribe, the reason being that they actually take away cognitive load by learning to work with you over time, to the point where eventually your scribing problems are wholly solved by having them around and you need not think about it.

AI scribes have their place since many doctors and nurses can’t afford a human scribe, but as of now they don’t *replace* people. They’re a tool that still needs wielding, and can’t be held accountable for anything.
