Maybe not though. If the biggest companies in the US are discovering AI is more expensive than paying US based employees, AI is certainly more expensive than paying employees in most other parts of the world too.
Why not give them private offices? If AI is increasing productivity and replacing workers they should have enough space left.
So they know their products would be useless in a noisy environment? They can't pick out the voice they need like an actual human being can in a crowd (excluding some with hearing difficulties)?
I forget where I read it, but apparently this is being pushed to replace or augment court stenography. Apparently, there is more demand for court recorders than stenographers to fulfill (not sure if this is true, but that’s the claim), so this option is being proposed as the AI dictation requires less training than stenography.
It's a different tool, but for much the same end. I want to say it's more because the device is cheaper than a typical stenography machine would cost, but I don't know that for sure.
Instead of the tech of RecDep of 1984, we get the SlopShop.
This is how you get Guild Navigators, you dont want that do you?
Please don’t show this to my boss.
Well, we've always known that the internet is a series of tubes.
I think stenographers in courts are already using them.
Holy shit they're real
