Also, kids today still know what a phone is and what its used for. It doesn’t take a genius to realise that phone boxes aren’t needed anymore now that everyone has a phone in their pocket.

Any “meeting” where it’s one person talking and everyone else listening is really more of a presentation, rather than a meeting. I cant see an AI bot engaging in a meeting (in any meaningful way).

Useful as a addional member to take meeting notes and provide transcriptions or even translations, but I don’t see how it can replace someone who actually has to converse with others in the meeting and make decisions based on information they bring to the meeting.

It really depends on the kind of meeting or why the meeting is being held.

I guess it’s fine if you are just being talked at for the entire meeting and there is no expectation for your input (but at that point maybe this meeting could’ve just been an email?).
