Even in well-attended zoom meetings, the presence of AI notetaker bots, even just 1-2 really hurts the vibe. If it’s more than 20% bots the meeting is ruined. Like party pooper types who show up to parties but sit there glumly without being social. Either show up or don’t. Don’t send a zombie notetaker.

particularly when the meetings are more in the direction of 'workshop', where any kind of vulnerability is wanted or where you want a lot of feedback from e.g. seeing people's facial expressions in real time

the presence of these bots seems to make everyone lazier and more

I've been tempted to just 'ban' them

AI notetaker bots disrupt social dynamics in Zoom meetings; too many ruin the experience. Show up or don't, don't be a party pooper
