lol how the fuck did Wikipedia’s editors let this self serving bullshit fly

Streeting’s two grandfathers, both named Bill, were key figures in his youth. His maternal grandfather, Bill Crowley, was acquainted with the infamous East End Krays. He was “really well-read and well-informed”, and engaged his grandson in lively discussions about religion and politics. Streeting’s paternal grandfather served in the Second World War in the Royal Navy and later in the merchant navy before becoming a civil engineer. He recalled: “He was the grandad I was closest to. He was a traditional working-class Tory.”

ROFL What fresh hell is this, that doctors who are forced to use AI tools are somehow responsible for the mistakes it causes?! Isn’t that the fault of techbros who are trying to do so much with a flawed tech demo?! Doctors need to fight back earnestly against these fuckwits, to put the blame in the right place: The ones who created these shitty AI tools.

A person would do a better job of transcribing patient visits, with far more accurate information than a thing which recommends glue to make a tasty pizza sauce.

Oh I’m already having to piece together what the doctor actually said from the surrounding context and what words sound similar and I don’t even live in the UK.
