Every medical professional I've spoken to says they hate the A.I. scribe because it makes so many mistakes and gets confused, but they're forced to use it by the practice manager / institution they work at.

we used to (retired from that work now) deal with those ai generated notes. they are horrible, error filled, and could literally kill someone if they aren't corrected in time by a human (the bit we used to do).
A while ago I had to go to urgent care for deep vein thrombosis. The nurses were struggling with the scribe tool more than talking to me / inspecting me. The final straw was when I said "left leg" but it wrote "right leg", and got all my medication names wrong. They gave up on it and pulled out a paper and pen lol
