"I'd just like to record this for the minutes". Minute taking was once a skill, knowing what to include, what to leave out, decisions made. Now we get long overly detailed minutes nobody cares to read, AI-generated summarised, and worst of all, meetings that are stilted and don't discuss anything because every utterance is recorded.

@fionabradley I'm good with this myself as the AI transcription options are pretty fab and pick up stuff I don't hear.

I'm minute taker for a meeting in a couple of weeks and I'll be joining in from another room, specifically so I can use the AI record and summarise options to aid in my minute taking. I say aid as I'll use the AI summary to inform my minute taking not replace.

@snail @fionabradley The sheer amount of outright false information I've found in the AI summary, the few times I've read it, have confirmed my decision to never enable it myself. In addition to the usual ethical issues with LLMs in general.

@tarmil @fionabradley that's why I said inform my minute taking as I wouldn't take it verbatim. I would still take my own notes but being half deaf, I have got things wrong in the past. Some of my minutes (without AI assistance) have been the opposite of the point agreed to because I didn't hear it properly.
