Co-founder of an AI transcription company claims it was originally just two guys pretending to be AI.
According to Sam Udotong, one of the founders of Fireflies.ai, when the company first started in 2017:
We told our customers there’s an “AI that’ll join a meeting.” In reality it was just me and my co-founder calling in to the meeting sitting there silently and taking notes by hand.
While Udotong claims it was clear to these early beta customers that “there was a human in the loop,” it still raises serious privacy concerns and sounds alarmingly close to flat-out fraud.
