In short: AI-based tools tend to "upcode" cases and bill for more serious conditions, and more expensive treatment.

(This is not about AI costing too much.)

Gee. I wonder why that would be allowed to happen.

This reads like slop.

The four emboldened headings that make up the whole article sound like they’re straight outta chatgpt:

* what happened

* the devil is in the billing details

* the big but

* bottom line

I’m not sure that I’ve ever read a Fortune article before so maybe this is just their style. But I doubt it.

This story was republished by Fortune from a partnership with Tech Brew: https://www.techbrew.com/stories/ai-healthcare-bills-increas...

If you look at other stories by the same author, such as this one https://www.techbrew.com/stories/openai-token-price-wars-ant... - the "TL;DR", "What happened", "Bottom line" format is consistent across their work. It looks to me like a style guide thing, not necessarily something introduced by LLMs.

Peruse tvtropes.com enough, and you will realize that nothing is ever original, everything follows this or that long-established pattern, and complaining about that is another old trope.

More seriously, I like the fact that articles follow a particular scheme: the problem, exposition, conflict, contemplation. Much like a scientific article follows a similar established pattern.

And emotionally now: complaints about slop are often as schematic as the slop.

They might have a skill or something that goes from report -> 'fortune article' - it honestly would not surprise me.
