Are AI-assistant-enriched coffee catch ups an actual thing that's happening or is OP inventing scenarios to be mad at?
I've had now-ex friends send me unsolicited ai-slop catch-up messages summarizing their life "since we last spoke".
Just saying no sounds simple enough. But social pressure makes that very difficult.
The normalisation of constant recording really has me worried, everything is so monitored now. Privacy just keep get more and more eroded for the sake of minor convenient features and products. At what point do we start deciding these trade off are no longer worth it? And is it even too late to make that decision?

In living memory, I had a HUMAN notetaker in important meetings. After secretaries left the world went to hell and topic experts and engineers were expected to have social graces, everything got worse. We invented new religions like agile to make up for a goo…

Secretaries are compelled by the same privacy and disclosure laws as doctors - AI notetaking apps may or may not be (it'll take examination of the product on a case by case basis) and the public is, at this point, used to AI companies blatantly lying about privacy, confidentiality, training sources, reuse of conversations and pricing - the good faith is gone as a default and in a setting like a HCP that is a terrible…
> Secretaries are compelled by the same privacy and disclosure laws as doctors What HIPAA-like law is there for secretaries?

Now come the replies saying, "as if human note-takers never made mistakes!"
