  • TL;DR: AI transcript said I’d been a smoker since the age of 11, never smoked a day in my life.

    My doctor asked me if she could use AI transcription software because she had hand surgery and couldn’t type. I said yes and reviewed the statements and while it was fairly accurate, it did have one egregious error on it.

    When asked if I had ever smoked, in person, I replied with a simple “no,” and did not proceed to have any follow up conversation until her next question. The AI transcript for mysterious reasons decided my answer was “yes, since the age of 11.” 💀💀💀

    Had to message them to fix it and while they did fix it asap, my first instinct wasn’t to check the transcript and I only did so out of curiosity. I can’t imagine what other people’s experiences may be.




  • You can try the physical wigglers? They’re like $20ish and can be plugged into a power source that’s not your work device if your company is particular about that too.

    It’s basically a timer and a cheap motor that rotates a disc with a pattern that is meant to trick laser mice into thinking that it’s being moved across a valid surface. Some are better than others.

    Other homemade solutions would be opening notepad and having a heavy object press a key, but that seems not ideal for random window pop-ups.
