Paywall: can anyone share what the issue is?

Inaccuracy in meeting minutes?

Leaking private info, re security of notes?

I have never used them (don't trust them to accurately capture what is important in a meeting vs just noting what's mentioned), but the concept seems very useful to me.

Reminds me of when I worked for a small shop which had the copier maintenance contract at a local college --- when something went wrong and wasn't properly addressed, my bosses found themselves being held to account with their own words from prior phone calls being quoted back to them verbatim --- which they were mystified by until I explained that the administrators had all come up from the clerical pool and knew shorthand.

They are saying that it could invalidate attorney client privilege because the transcription could technically be available to an outside party.

I suspect what isn't being said by the lawyers is they want to keep attorney client privilege so they can outright lie.

It's in the viewable text on the page.

> A trendy productivity hack, A.I. note takers are capturing every joke and offhand comment in many meetings. They could also potentially waive attorney-client privilege.

By now everyone knows that AI notes that aren't curated by a human will catch every silly thing that was said in the meeting while omitting the context of the tone or body language. Something as simple as "yeah, right" has vastly different meanings depending on how it was said. In a different context it's already been established that using AI breaks client attorney privilege [0] and this concern has been raised before by law firms [1][2] or the American Bar Association [3] (you can just hit escape before the paywall loads to see the full content). A judge will have to weigh in on this one too.

I don't know what's with the wave of paywalled articles that keep making it to the front page without any workaround included in the submission. Even when you coax the text out of the page source, they're not very insightful to begin with.

Not for me - there was no viewable text.

People opt in to the panopticon and then discover they have no more secrets. I'm surprised lawyers fall for that as well.

If a lawyer takes notes and puts them in a computer, or a cloud drive, or send it over email, they are still covered by attorney-client privilege, right? If they use an AI to do it, it's treated more like a third party no longer covered by the same privilege. If there's no court decision on this it only takes a bit of bad assumption to screw up with using AI.

To be fair, the attorney-client privilege should be completely technology/medium agnostic. If the intention is to have that info stay between client and attorney, nothing should change this.
