AI bots are crashing workplace chats
Briefly

AI chatbots are increasingly being integrated into collaborative messaging platforms like Zoom, Slack, and Otter for various tasks such as automated note-taking, transcription, and real-time translation. These technologies aim to streamline group interactions, but users often find communicating with bots in group settings awkward. As AI rapidly evolves, social norms struggle to catch up. Companies like Cloudflare envision a future where chatbots assist in meetings, easing the search for information. Mixed perceptions of AI's role suggest that they should be seen as facilitators in conversations rather than intruders. New approaches to integrating AI into messaging are essential.
The world is going to get weird. I think a good litmus test for all things AI is to think, 'Does it feel a little weird?' If it does, that’s probably how it’s going to be.
Instead of everyone stopping to Google a fact simultaneously, they can just ask the bot to get the information.
We need a whole new product; AI is such a shift that it can't just be bolted onto pre-existing tools.
Instead of viewing AI as bots barging into chats, think of it as humans inviting AI into conversations we’re having.
