Re: AI uses - writing emails, transcribing meetings, managing files... wtf?
Just to point out Taking Minutes is not Transcribing a Meeting.
Taking Minutes is an essential part of any meeting, and absolutely not something you give to the person in the room likely to hallucinate or who has absolutely no idea about the topic being talked about. Or in other words the very definition of an AI. I doubt I'm the only person who has been in a meeting where the Boss has designated the brand new Work Student to take the minutes of the meeting, which then starts going into technical details, using a host of acronyms unknown to anyone not on the project. And when the minutes emerge at the end, they are absolutely useless, and no one knows what the hell the Minutes are trying to say, because the new Work Student didn't understand a word of what was going on. It is guaranteed to be the same outcome if you tried to use AI to generate the Minutes of a meeting,
Transcribing a Meeting on the other hand means taking down word for word what was spoken in the meeting, and outside of a court stenographer, I've never heard of anyone doing that as part of their job.
By all means, someone should keep the Minutes in any important meeting, and they should be gone over at the end of the meeting with everyone's signature on the bottom, if there's any hint of a suspicion that someone will try to weasel out of what they've said they will be doing. Getting an AI to transcribe what it thinks everyone said is simply going to lead to the old "I never said that. The AI must have imagined. What I actually said was..."
