Also starting next spring, the Al Companion will give "real-time feedback’ on people’s presence in meetings plus coaching on their conversational and presentation skills.
Fuck that. Zoom should just be a video conference app, not a baby sitter.
I am just picturing Zooms equivalent of Clippy.
Maybe I’m wrong but I think the “presence” part is like “how’s my presence as I’m speaking right now?” At least from the context that’s what I’m reading. More of a coaching feature and like “you’re not pausing enough, or too much.”
But honestly it could be either.
The feature where you can ask a ChatGPT-like bot about the substance of a meeting is sort of cool. As someone with ADHD, it could be useful. The Zoom IQ thing that rates presentation skills is creepy, although I guess it could be interesting to people making sales calls. Still, I don’t think I would want these in my videoconferencing app and I would not be comfortable if someone else enabled it for me.
So its doing this by recording your likeness, voice and everything you say and adding to its dataset?
