This seems very similar to self driving cars.

At the beginning they will be worse than humans and cause deaths that humans would have prevented while at the same time probably saving lives where a human would make a mistake.

But not far down the road they'll become much better than humans even if they do occasionally make a mistake and cause a death that a human wouldn't' have they'll save far more lives due to them not making the mistakes that humans do.

While I think you're correct, there is no proof this will ever be achieved.

It very well may not be possible along our current path. It may take a 100 years, 1000 to get there.

And yes it could take only 20 more. But to state this as a certainty?

No.

I think its basic certainty that computers will be better at transcribing notes than humans basically now and will continue to get better. I mean we're basically there now, I trust spell check and grammar check more than myself.

That's what we're talking about here. IMHO computers are already better at that, what possibly makes you think this won't happen?

My reply was to the parent post, which started:

And continued discussing self driving cars.

Regardless, what I said stands.

ah, then I mis-interpreted. My fault, appreciate you letting me know.
