> The problem is these meetings are so low information density even an AI summary is not worth my time.

I've been in my share of useless meetings.

However, I've been fortunate enough to be able to cut down the useless meetings at most of my jobs (with one exception, which was awful).

The problem now is that the AI note takers are turning even the good meetings into useless exercises. It's obvious that the AI note taker participants have no intention of participating during the meeting. Then 3 hours later you start getting follow-up questions that they should have asked in the meeting.

Everyone knows "This meeting could have been an e-mail" but fewer people recognize when "This 50-response e-mail conversation spanning 3 days could have been solved in the 30 minute meeting"

The root problem is people trying to transform their own work into async at the expense of forcing everyone else to accommodate them.

It reminds me of the recurring scene in Real Genius with the lectures and the tape recorders.
