One intriguing use I encountered was a doctor who automatically transcribed the conversation during an appointment. This has HIPAA concerns, of course, and I think (hope, at least) that this was in the context of medical software that is designed to be HIPAA compliant. But it was an interesting way for a doctor to try and avoid missing something in conversation.

I agree with you that it's weird outside of professional settings.

Because having a chat with you was special and I want to remember it but my aging fallible human brain is going to forget it, so I'd like to be able to remember it and hold on to and cherish that moment we shared.

		"I want to replace the human experience with SQL queries" in a nutshell if chats are so important to you, write it down, with your hand. journaling is fun and great and there's evidence that it's good for your mental health because it allows you intentional time for introspection and insight-building

		It's special because it's ephemeral.

		You're definitely going to forget it if you don't have to make any effort to remember it.

		Then write a note, stop recording me. If you can't be bothered, it wasn't that meaningful or important.
