My boss had a 10am meeting, and the presenter very clearly let an AI write the slide deck. Slide 1 said: “Revolutionizing Synergistic Friction Workflow Paradigms: A Bold Vision Forward.” We sell socks and holiday sweaters. Slide 3 opened with: “As humans, we fear change…”

I scheduled a quarterly board meeting for my boss. Our AI note-taker kept going even after the meeting ended. It auto-sent everything as part of the “official recap.” It captured: - My boss asking me if this should have been an email - Who we wanted to fire - Everyone

My boss had a 3pm team check-in. At 3:12 the manager asked one person, “Any updates on your part?” Silence. We all knew. We ALL knew. They were at a Soul Cycle class instead of working. Because the last time this happened, they forgot to mute and the whole time had the green

At 2pm my boss had a meeting. At 2:06, rustling noises started and then the sound of a laptop smashing. Everyone saw the green outline. Everyone knew who it was. And then someone said, with the unnecessary diplomacy of a UN ambassador: “Did someone say something?” followed by

My boss had a noon meeting. Someone asked halfway through, “Has anyone eaten yet?” at the top of the call. "Yeah McDonald's has this amazing new sandwich." "I am more of a Burger King guy myself." "Wendy's all the way." Next they had a debate between Seamless and DoorDash.

My boss had a meeting today. He gave his intro then noticed the chat. “You’re muted.” typed 7x over from 3 people. He unmuted and tried again. Then someone’s mic turned on and immediately produced the sound of tires screeching. Half the people left and rejoined three times.
