Every time I interview someone from an AI scribe company, I ask if it’s OK to record the interview for my notes and make a joke about the ironic situation.
Turns out, not everyone is asking, and people have started to record their daily conversations, such as first dates, without asking.
“This Conversation is Being Recorded.
They All Are” is the Wall Street Journal’s headline.
What a hellscape.
