"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 @Binder I used to take minutes for the local town council. I got told off if I wrote down stuff like “nothing was decided” or “everyone talked bollocks”.

What are you supposed to put down for a two hour meeting about the font in a leaflet?
