The Pitt this season has a storyline about AI charting that produced hallucinated info and caused problems for patient care, pretty effective demonstration for real life stakes

The writing was good, they made the human aspect of it abundantly clear. An overworked resident in an understaffed and under resourced emergency room tries to get more done faster and lets AI hallucinations slip because it’s 90% right which seems good enough on paper.
