Re: I'm Begging You to Leave Your AI Note-Taker at Home

The author strongly opposes the use of AI note-takers in personal catch-ups or meetings, feeling unsafe and uncomfortable with being recorded, especially by AI.
They share a personal experience where they declined a physiotherapist's request to use an AI note-taker, and the therapist accepted and took notes manually instead.
The author argues that bringing a third person to take notes would be creepy and awkward, and it's no different when a computer does it, as data passes through multiple companies.
They suggest alternatives like leaving devices off or using simple methods like writing on a napkin, emphasizing that not everything needs to be recorded.
The author encourages questioning why an AI note-taker is necessary in casual conversations and advocates for focusing on the 'vibe' rather than creating checklists or action plans.
