Let's leverage the key learnings into win-win scenarios by applying state of the art technologies to create shareholder value!
But have you involved all relevant stakeholders?
Might need to circle back on that one.
Needs more synergies.
Let’s parking lot that.
Do donuts?
I just wanted flag this for you
Thanks all.
Don't forget to ideate solutions so we can down select for optimal performance.
Are we no longer doing synergy?
So helpful. Gemini once summarized a VM from my kid (who is autistic and doesn't speak super well) as a "long, rambling and incoherent message" with no attempt to decipher what was said. We will not be replaced by AI anytime soon.
What a novel way for google to accomplish something kinda fucked up. The applications of ai truly know no bounds
Now I am genuinely curious how would AI summarise Trump speaches 😂
If AI was reliably accurate it would be [incoherent dementia ranting]
Wtf that's messed up. I'm sorry that happened to yall. That's very dehumanizing
Thanks! It was pretty funny - even at the time. Although, yeah, pretty dehumanizing.
I mean, it’s AI. It doesn’t even know what it is.
A virtual machine? Is it still fun to dereference jargon the first time it's mentioned?
Voice mail?
I think it's verbal meltdown?
lol Yes we will. Many have already been replaced.
People NEED to realize how stupid and greedy capitalists are...
It doesn't have to be even comparable to the employee's actual output to replace them. It just has to make executives think it can, and since when did executives ever actually understand what they're employees do or how hard it is?
They're so deep in the ELIZA effect that they thoroughly believe this kind of problem is as easy as adding a couple instructions to fix.
It’s just a data grab on open ai’s part
Oh, absolutely. Some coworkers don't understand it though.
How long until the meeting content is condensed into a score that is used on performance reviews?
"Well, Bob, you're a diligent worker and your output is on par with your peers, but your Teams Meeting Quality Quotient is sub par. Among other things the Facilitator(TM) has noted a tendency to not use the entire allotted meeting time, and that the actions it automatically identified aren't being marked complete on the Teams AI Task Board. That looks really bad. It also says your meetings have 12% higher off topic content than your peers citing an increase to 15% correlating with March Madness. Though it is notable that the 60/40 split of male/female voices speaking is above the company mandate of 70/30, so that's good."
Now your meetings that should have been and email are sent as an email
Wow, how helpful! Let's spend another trillion on this super-intelligence!
Wow. I could code up that "AI" in an afternoon, and I wouldn't even need an LLM for it.
Same shit goes on in these meetings forever but now you have to pay a monthly subscription for colour commentary. Only in america.
Facilitator is actually a pretty decent feature. It works pretty well for recurring meetings with a set agenda. The message shown is not very useful, but the automatic notes and summary are usually fairly good.
But that's not something you need an LLM for...
Still more helpful than my PM
Sumarize? A inexistent meet is better than a non necesary meet.
