Hmmmm... Researchers say an AI-powered transcription tool used in hospitals invents things no one ever said
A speaker in another recording described “two other girls and one lady.” Whisper invented extra commentary on race, adding "two other girls and one lady, um, which were Black.”
In a third transcription, Whisper invented a non-existent medication called “hyperactivated antibiotics.”
Some of the examples in Careless Whisper: Speech-to-Text Hallucination Harms are pretty amazingly egregious.
