During the STAC Community Meetup, attendees experienced an unexpected invasion of AI note-taking bots, which created a surreal situation. Emmanuel Mathot expressed disbelief, describing the episode as 'crazy' and 'absurd' while capturing screenshots. Concerns arose about the awkwardness of bots recording conversations without human oversight, which raised privacy and accountability issues. James Banting emphasized the importance of human presence in meetings to avoid over-reliance on technology for note-taking. Matthias Mohr took administrative action by switching Google accounts to remove unauthorized bots. Despite the disruption, attendees humorously speculated about the future where bots might gather, likening it to a 'coffee bar for bots,' illustrating a lighter perspective on the evolving dynamics where bots could outnumber human participants.
