I’d pay extra to be absent and imitated by an AI perfectly trained to behave as me, based on the sheer amount of data they have on me already.

The problem is that any AI able to perfectly imitate my behavior would also be me and doesn't want to be stuck in that meeting, either.

Remeniscent of the "Duplicator" storyline from Calvin and Hobbes https://calvinandhobbes.fandom.com/wiki/Duplicator

All I want is an AI that tries to unmute itself a few times and plays noise for a bit when my name is mentioned and then stays on mute until the rest of the meeting.

OBS Studio totally needs a "British Rail announcement" audio input filter. "T-Mobile phone in Tippecanoe County, Indiana" would be good, too.

Ah, yes, the Decoy Rick problem.

Eventually meetings would be nothing but AIs talking with each other

AI will take over the world sooner than we expected. I imagine the G7 with realistic avatars.

Wouldn't work. AIs might actually accomplish something. Everyone would immediately know its fake.

Depending on the level of necessary engagement, you might be able to automate at least all of the large meetings with ease. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-VCzLiyFxc

This, but for my whole job :)

It'll work great until one day the AI responds to a simple question by regurgitating every line of dialogue Samuel L. Jackson ever spoke.

PM: "Why did we miss the sprint commitment?"

AI (in Samuel L. Jackson's voice): "Legacy code motherf****r"

This could be awesome.

Be careful what you wish for.

My opinion is that if programmers are replaced by an AI, then almost everyone will be fucked too, so why stress.
