    Sigh.

    New boss: “You’re good at writing notes.”

    Me: “Thank you, it helps me to remember so I have been writing summaries for many years.”

    New boss: “You should try CoPilot and see what it can do.”

    Me: “Well I enjoy summarizing my notes, and it helps me to learn and remember.”

    New boss: “Let me show you something I did in CoPilot.”

    Ugh. Writing it myself helps me LEARN and REMEMBER. Why are these AI zombies so intent on changing a process that is helpful to me? Feeding notes through CoPilot won’t benefit me when it’s the act of writing that works for me.

        Also, Copilot literally makes shit up when it takes notes. There are a dozen malpractice lawsuits in the system right now bc doctors used Copilot and its errors seriously endangered the lives of their patients.

        I know you can't, but you should just tell him "I prefer my notes to be accurate".

        @johnzajac @VeeRat Copilot (like every AI assistant) is highly motivated, workaholic, 24/7 available ... intern. A very junior intern.
        So, if someones trusts this intern to create MoM without thoroughly counter-checking it ... 🙂‍↔️

        NB: Even the Microsoft consultants I bumped into so far admitted this fact openly.

          @VeeRat All of this. And: In a few coaching (therapy?) sessions a while back I learned taking notes as an important tool for myself to stop being reactive and/or feeling provoked by what I considered "attacks" during meetings. Because it allows me to move my focus away from the attacker and to a thing for the deciding few seconds. It gives me a socially accepted reason to break eye contact. And to force myself to listen again to what was actually being said.

              @VeeRat This fits the "performative processing" theory of management that seems to be going viral through corporate culture these days. In that model, the process of creating the product is prioritized over the output of the process. The end result is an expensive product that includes a lot of fancy buzzwords but doesn't perform as advertised.

              @arazil That's exactly that! I called it "cosplaying your job" but ""performative processing" is a better term.
              It's all smoke and mirrors but they *feel* they're being productive and dong their job.

                @johnzajac @VeeRat Also the number of show-cause hearings for lawyers (and law firms, and departments of justice) who used genAI to write motions with made-up case citations. A few have progressed to sanctions hearings, and at least one to the dissolution of the law firm in question.

                Meanwhile I'm in the middle of cleaning up a complete fustercluck in code that pre-dates genAI, it's _all_ down to human stupidity. We don't need any help screwing things up.

                Lazy attorneys at law inventing cases in their filings is nothing new, really.
                AI just makes them even lazier by sparing them the imaginative effort.

                  @VeeRat I was in that spot too decades ago, and “you’re good at writing notes” was not really a compliment from the source, it’s a dig masked as “you spend too much time writing notes”. Now the same people have AI.

                    @VeeRat @masek
                    One thing I point out to my first year undergrad students is research that writing notes long hand stimulates better recall even if notes are never re-read, compared to typed notes.

                      @VeeRat Excellent summary of how managers use tools in a lazy way, not using their brain.
                      I do a lot of client meetings, and then send my summary to fellow managers, I take every opportunity to mention that corporate software is unsuitable for specific activities (drip-drip subtle messaging).

                          @VeeRat Ugh. I've always had trouble remembering things. I write and draw to imprint information into my brain. Using AI for writing notes sounds like a good way of making sure that I will never remember anything again.
                          I'm with you in this one.

                            @VeeRat because it is helpful to you, not them. They want to deprive you of a useful tool to exert control.
