My work #EMR at now has integrated #AI that summarizes a patient's chart whether I want it to or not. This week it told me the wrong reason for admission, the wrong hospital course, and the wrong medications as compared against the human-written discharge summary. To review it and find the error took 3 minutes; to document the error and report it took another 10.

Anchoring bias exists. What we read stays with us, truth or lie, influencing decisions.

And I can't turn it off.

@jeneralist Wikipedia on the anchoring effect, for anyone who doesn't feel like searching: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring_effect

It's troubling that even when you're aware that something is unreliable AI slop, it still changes your behavior. The only safe move is to avoid seeing the slop in the first place, and that's increasingly difficult.
