I think the same thing every time. I've never had anyone read my meeting notes and they're better off in some sort of work order system anyways.

All I'm hearing is an appeal to making the workplace more isolating. Don't talk to each other, just talk to the machine that might summarize it wrong

Because meeting minutes are hard, annoying to do and LLMs are good at it.

To be blunt, I think most HNers are young software developers, never attend any meetings of significance and don’t have to deal with many différent topics so they fail to see the usefulness because they are not in a position to understand it.

The tails are everywhere like people mentioning work orders which is something extremely operational. If nothing messy and complicated is discussed in the meetings you attend, it’s no surprise you don’t get why minutes are useful or where the value is. It doesn’t mean there is no value.

ok i'll take your word for it that people read meeting notes.

Meeting notes are not only there to be read. Their usefulness is that they are a trace of what was said and decided that everyone in the meeting agreed upon which is extremely important as soon as things get political.

sounds like you work at a fun place :) . watch your every word you utter incase it gets used against you.

Indeed, it seems doubtful that an org having so structurless meetings that they are struggling to write minutes is capable of having meetings for which minutes serves any purpose beyond covering ass.
