Yes, but the problem is that I don't want to be recorded without my consent by you at all times. And I don't want to have to negotiate you removing this device that is recording me every time we are near each other.

Do you mind if somebody takes notes of the conversation you're having with them?

At what point do the notes become too detailed? An audio recording? A transcript? A summary of the transcript?

Do you mind the fact that all modern smartphones technically record all calls? Digital audio always ends up in a RAM buffer somewhere, and due to how memory allocation works, there's no guarantee that all the buffers will be fully destroyed after the call is complete.

How's an AI "recording" your conversation in memory, transcribing it and writing a summary of that transcript, different from a phone doing the recording to RAM, and a human brain doing the transcribing and writing?

It would certainly change the way most people will interact with them.

It doesn't have to be a binary and can vary for different people and situations.

You cannot retrieve the "recording" of a call, so this is not really meaningful in any relevant way.

Because it is doing it all the time. "Quantity has a quality of its own"

What? Or course taking notes on a casual conversation is weird, let alone recording it. Of course "writing audio in the sound chip buffer" is not the same thing as "storing audio and data mining it", let along the same as "a brain listening to it".

A-ha but technically...

No please don't, this is not engaging in good faith.
