I've used AI for medical transcription before and it is absolutely incredible. It's not just a word for word text, but a detailed clinical breakdown of everything discussed.

All you have to do is simply read the damn thing thoroughly and correct whatever minor errors pop up.

Takes 95% less time.

Exactly. It is a tool for professionals to use to speed up existing processes. It is not a replacement for people, regardless of what the marketers tell you so you buy their product. I don't understand how there aren't thousands of lawsuits against these AI companies for their blatantly false advertising.

AI keeps proving this day by day when people try to make it a replacement and have it blow up in their faces every day.

blatantly false advertising.

SEC is neutered, what makes you think anyone in charge of advertising rules hasn't been replaced by a 17 year old called Goebbels Gobbler or something with a DOGE laptop.

SEC is neutered

This article is about an incident in Australia. The SEC has no bearing on what Australia can do.

The AI bubble is an American phenomenon and their SEC isn't slowing down the insanity. Their lack of a functional SEC is everyones problem.
