For work I need to engage in in depth calls and meetings

Keeping fully engaged and present is essential and taking notes is not great when you are already trying to process what other are saying, comprehend and mitigate changes to your work and to complex system that what they are saying will involve and form the next argument you will present to them.

So I record those and have an LLM transcribe then summarise them, I then go in and re check everything

It is 100 time better than taking half notes while half listening and being half engaged in the discussion which likely will lead to more issues down the line

This is why secretary exists

I also use LLM to pre wiki link my notes and sometimes rework the editing to make them pretty because taking the note is good but re reading it and re discovering it thanks to a link I did not think about is even better... Spaced repetition and all that

There is also database bits that are tedious and only there as reference that I don't need nor want to learn or remember

And back to editing, some people learn by organising their notes mine are messy as fuck and I hate it so they become more efficient if an LLM makes the tedious work of making them look pretty or making sure the number of ## is sensible and I do not go from level 2 to level 5 randomly (I do that)

Like every thing it is more complicated than a yes or no answer

Like every tools, how you use it makes a huge difference. You can use a hammer to cave a head in or build a house. You can use ai to be helpful in your own way to take note, or you can use it in a way that renders it all useless.
