@VeeRat "AI zombies" is the best description I've heard in a while. It says it all.

@VeeRat none of these folks understand that the journey is the destination. if you don't write it yourself, it doesn't settle in the brain. they want the summary, not the process of taking notes. the process is anathema to them. ::shakes fists::

@VeeRat They're trying to make converts because it validates their own use of the tools, which they feel insecure about. It's a quasi-religious evangelical impulse.

@VeeRat So true. Often I'll write the notes and then never look at them again. The act of creating them is the point.

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".

@VeeRat I had to explain to someone that the act of taking the notes is 99% if the value for me. I almost never actually go back and read them. For me also, paper is better than electronic.
But also zombies.

@VeeRat There's this thing where people are indifferent to the results but intensely concerned everyone is doing things in the correct way.
A subset of the impulse to prescriptive norms, more or less; "this works for me, it has to work for you".

@VeeRat PS. I did a stint where the client culture was all to make notes quickly on their laptops. They NEVER remembered anything of it or even referred to them that I could see - because too many meetings seemed to hash over the same points over and over and over again. So that also.

@VeeRat it’s all about “increasing productivity” and justifying spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on AI. If they can’t get employees to adopt it becomes a useless expense. I’ve been pushed to use AI for basically every aspect of my job. Writing emails, taking notes, sending messages, writing articles, etc.
