Isn't this what corporate america wanted? AI everywhere right? For everything? Oh but not like that?

They want all the potential benefits for themselves with none of the responsibility for any downsides, while simultaneously preventing everyone else from using it due to potential downsides.

I'm a hard worker and a good person that can be trusted with special privileges. When I use tools like AI notetakers to skip a meeting, I'm maximizing the value of my hours to the company by leveraging cutting edge technology to enable me to be in two places at once.

You're a lazy fool who needs to be prevented from making mistakes for the good of the company. When you use tools like AI trascription, you're trying to delegate your critical job duties to an untested, unproven technology gimmick that can't actively engage with the meeting and acts as a de-facto blocker to any business critical decisions being made, negatively affecting company impact and accomplishment of corporate goals while creating a chilling effect towards effective interdepartmental collaboration.

I get all the benefits with none of the responsibility. You get called to account for every potential stumbling block, real.or imagined.

Please tell me this was generated for added effect with "corporate speak" in the prompt!

Sorry to say that's all off the dome. No AI involved.

I've risen high enough in my career that I've had to learn the corpo-speak to keep up in meetings, unfortunately.
