Sorta just sounds like you can probably fire a few employees who don't give a fuck.
From experience, a lot of companies tend to be propped up by like 10% of their developers doing 90% of the work, maybe 50% of developers doing the last 10%, and then like 40% of developers either doing fuck all or actively harming the codebases and making more work for the other 60%.
And more often than not, these people are the ones sending stuff like "AI Note Takers" merely to give the illusion of existing.
In reality you have like three devs who actually care and do most of the work having a discussion and like 10 to 30 AFK participants with their cameras off who probably arent even listening or care.
And the thing is, it shows later. The same devs have zero clue wtf is going on, they have zero clue how to do their job, and they constantly get their code sent back or they plague up some codebase that doesnt have reviewers to catch them.
The AI note takers are just the new version of people showing up to meetings with their camera off and never speaking a word.
Except now they burn orders of magitude more power to do it, which is awful.
In my experience, those three groups are really just the three stages of burnout
