This is strictly a San Francisco tech problem. This isn’t happening to most people

This feels like people several layers deep into devoid of all normal interactions.

We've had this technology (minus the auto summary) for years. People don't like being interrogated. It's crazy. Or maybe I'm crazy and someone needs to explain how all of this happened, it can't be all tiktok..

> I’ve adjusted to - and even embraced - the idea of AI note takers on every Zoom and Google Meet call, and they are indeed incredibly useful. Taking Granola’s output from a client meeting and dropping it into Poke to create all my tasks in ToDoist is a bloody useful workflow that shaves off a good deal of cognitive load.

What makes an in-person work meeting any different?

AI note takers are so funny to me. Like what are you gonna do with all those notes? Go home after a long day, draw a nice bath, and flick through some shitty AI summaries?

And it’s AI so you literally can’t 100% trust it which is like half the reason I take notes by hand (to keep an honest record).

We had to issue a directive for an open attendance online board meeting I'm on. AI adjunct popped up unannounced, poses issues for formalisms like board minutes.

Aside from that I just think its rude. Ask permission not forgiveness. People talking to people is what a meeting is all about. If you need assistance there's a conversation to be had about why and on what terms.

At work, yeah, fine I guess. Outside of work? No way. And I don't mind being called a Luddite, I know what I am.
