AI will never replace jobs that require real human care or intent. We don't want an AI taking care of us when we're sick, though they'd probably be very good at it. Business notes may be a nice case, but notes taken by someone who cares about the project is going to be better than the AI's, even if the AI does a better job, because the care o the person taking the notes is evident.

> We don't want an AI taking care of us when we're sick Debatable, what if... - there are not enough doctors to see patients - it meant I could be seen immediately vs having to wait 1+ hours - my doctor had instant access to all medical knowledge and the wisdom of 1M+ hours of practice - there is a pandemic where a robot is much easier to sterilize between patient visits There are people already willing on a personal / social level to see an artificial doctor, doctors are already incorporating AI into their practice to help reduce errors, it's hard to believe it will never happen. The context of the visit or stay will play into acceptance

If the AI objectively does a better job at summarizing the meeting, then maybe someone who cares about the project should use the AI instead of taking notes by hand.

Eah statement in this boils down to a variation over an appeal to nature [1], in that each argument here is basically that an AI can't do a good job because it's not human / natural. While an AI might well not do a good job now, you've provided no meaningful argument for why it can't match - or surpass - people. An actual argument might be that it can't fully replace my own notes because my own notes can, and sometimes do, include notes about my thoughts and opinions that the AI can't possibly know without being told. But that does not negate the possible value in terms of freeing me from taking notes about what was actually said during the meeting. With respect to being taken care of: I want to be taken care of in whichever way produces the best outcome for me. If that means care handled by an AI, then I want the AI.

I'd gladly take an AI that can monitor my vitals and physical activity and automatically recommends a treatment option, especially if it's substantially cheaper than a person.
