This is a joke, right?
No, it's not. Some people truly need it. The status quo is a joke. The threshold for considering behavior toxic is too high. Now we have the technology to end the bullshit. If you are interrupting, ignoring others, bluffing, lying, manipulating, gaslighting, being a sycophant, playing dirty... you are no longer playing the game. There are ways of achieving things that do not involve cheating. If you disagree, then I…

You can buy flight tickets from Google, that is a relatively new product even if you buy them from the search result. So Google search is good at adding new products that are context sensitive to your query, I don't see why they couldn't make such things with a chat bot answering question queries instead of just trying to link to sites with answers.
> a chat bot answering question queries instead of just trying to link to sites with answers And kill their golden goose? Google makes more money the longer you spend on their ad-ridden search result pages. I don't doubt they'll make a question answering bot, but the real question is how they fund it (see edit above for my guess).
Someone will kill their golden goose sooner or later. It's better if they kill it themselves and silently replace it with something else.

Very dystopian. It works well as farce, if it were one.
Primitive animals are less social, less collaborative and cannot collaborate in large groups. There are vestigial behaviors from them that arise once in a while in humans. It's time to evolve and press the mute button on lower ape behavior. Humans cannot do it reliably.
Automatically detecting and flagging selfish individuals that cannot work in groups and actively sabotage their group by preventing the best ideas from prevailing is something worth trying.
The reason everyone is seeing therapists is because some people are determined to ruin the work experience for others. We can do better.
The real premium version of Microsoft Teams will be the one that doesn't crash my Google Chrome window every 30-45 minutes.
Or one that works in Firefox without disconnecting you at random when you try to make a video call or join a conference.
An AI listening in and evaluating all my meetings? No thanks. I have now switched all meetings with my reports to my Nextcloud Talk server.

"With intelligent recap in Teams premium, you’ll get automatically generated meeting notes, recommended tasks, and personalized highlights to help you get the information most important to you, even if you miss the meeting." There are some startups working on these solutions too right?
Can they get gpt-3 to program a version of Teams that works?
To anyone fortunate to not have to use Teams, this is no joke - it's mind-bogglingly terrible. But I have noticed some unintentional humor, if I send a message like "ok, this isn't working, why don't I Slack you a Zoom link instead?" I get an immediate modal popping up, asking if I would answer two quick questions...
It’s not even weird edge cases. The core features like calls just flat out don’t work in random ways.
