Molly Whitesuper cool that all these companies have decided to make customers opt OUT of having their data sold for AI training purposes
"but no one would do it if it was opt-in!"
yeah, THAT IS THE PROBLEM

Apparently, when someone connects OtterAI to their Zoom and Google accts, the bot will auto-join any Zoom meeting in their Google calendar and start transcribing, whether the person is attending or not. 👍 😎

Exactly what happened to us. The person who unknowingly had a bot attending our meeting was pretty appalled and embarrassed as well. I'd say the FCC or FTC should be doing something about this, but ever since Elon's "autopilot" was allowed on public roads, it's been clear that US regulatory agencies are basically useless, so...
