根据最新的《华尔街日报》文章,风投 Jeremy Levine 对一些经常困扰他的事情有一个讽刺的解决方案:https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/workplace/ai-recording-apps-wearables-granola-39727559 关于 AI 转录应用程序的兴起。在 Zoom 上,他不再使用“Jeremy Levine”这个名字,而是改为“Jeremy Levine 我不同意转录或录音”。
这听起来可能很小气也可能很聪明,这取决于你的观点,但可以确定的是,由于越来越多的 AI 记笔记应用和设备的出现,全天候录音正在变得无处不在,其中很多:https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/29/pocket-raises-11m-in-bet-on-rising-demand-for-ai-note-taking-devices/ 我们在 TechCrunch 已经报道过:https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/16/plaud-says-its-software-business-topped-100m-in-arr-after-shipping-over-2m-ai-notetakers/ https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/26/speakons-dictation-device-is-a-good-idea-marred-by-platform-limitations/ (我们甚至还对一些应用进行了排名:https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/02/the-best-ai-powered-dictation-apps-of-2025/)。
风投 Eric Bahn 告诉媒体,他现在会自动假设与创始人的会议会被录音,即使还没看到手机滑过会议桌。一位创始人告诉 WSJ,她会用 Granola 应用录下大多数第一次约会,然后把转录内容交给 Claude 来看自己是否可以更“有吸引力或有同理心”,同时评估谁说话最多。(旧金山的约会生活很艰难:http://youtube.com/watch?si=l_34Hj-6iD0743Of&v=KtACIFEddhM&feature=youtu.be。)
Levine 称这一整套趋势是“社会上不可接受的行为”,会彻底扼杀自发的对话。文章中的其他人也指出,这是一片法律雷区。
但还有一个新的问题:如果每次会议、聊天和浪漫约会都被转录和总结,究竟有谁会去看这些内容?当每一段对话都成为音频垃圾场的时候,它何时停止有用,变成没人有时间回放的录音?

VC Jeremy Levine has a wry solution to something that routinely annoys him, according to a new Wall Street Journal article:https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/workplace/ai-recording-apps-wearables-granola-39727559 on the rise of AI transcription apps. On Zoom, he is no longer “Jeremy Levine” but instead “Jeremy Levine I do not consent to transcribing or recording.”
It may sound petty or brilliant, depending on your point of view, but what’s clear is that always-on recording is becoming ubiquitous, thanks to a growing crop of AI note-taking apps and devices, many:https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/29/pocket-raises-11m-in-bet-on-rising-demand-for-ai-note-taking-devices/ of which:https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/16/plaud-says-its-software-business-topped-100m-in-arr-after-shipping-over-2m-ai-notetakers/ we’ve covered:https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/26/speakons-dictation-device-is-a-good-idea-marred-by-platform-limitations/ here at TechCrunch (we’ve even ranked:https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/02/the-best-ai-powered-dictation-apps-of-2025/ some).
VC Eric Bahn tells the outlet he now automatically assumes his meetings with founders will be recorded, even before he sees a phone slide across a conference table. One founder tells the WSJ she records most of her first dates with the Granola app, then feeds the transcript to Claude afterward to see if she could be more “engaging or empathetic,” while also assessing who did most of the talking. (Dating in San Francisco is rough:http://youtube.com/watch?si=l_34Hj-6iD0743Of&v=KtACIFEddhM&feature=youtu.be.)
Levine calls the whole trend “socially unacceptable behavior” that can completely kill spontaneous conversations. Others in the piece note it’s a legal minefield.
But there’s another wrinkle: if every meeting, watercooler conversation, and romantic outing gets transcribed and summarized, who’s actually reading any of it? At what point does this audio landfill of every conversation stop being useful and just become another recording no one has time to play back?
