It really depends on the kind of meeting or why the meeting is being held.
I guess it's fine if you are just being talked at for the entire meeting and there is no expectation for your input (but at that point maybe this meeting could've just been an email?).
So all this does is create a black market for tech. People with the knowledge of how to set up this technology will provide it as a service for those who don't.
It's the same as trying to outright ban drugs. Those who can provide for those who cannot (for a fee).
I'm in the same boat as OP. I just don't understand why one distro over another. I guess the next questions would be - what made you choose Debian for one PC and Fedora for the other? Do you find that openSUSE works better on a laptop than other distros? If the experience is the same, why not have them all the same distro? Do you just choose a distro on a whim? Roll a dice? Flip a coin?
Any "meeting" where it's one person talking and everyone else listening is really more of a presentation, rather than a meeting. I cant see an AI bot engaging in a meeting (in any meaningful way).
Useful as a addional member to take meeting notes and provide transcriptions or even translations, but I don't see how it can replace someone who actually has to converse with others in the meeting and make decisions based on information they bring to the meeting.
