A group of hospital physicians met for a virtual rounds meeting.
What they didn't realize was that Otter.ai was on the call, too.
They found out when the AI transcriber sent a transcript of the meeting -- patient information and all -- to dozens of current and former staff after the call.

I just learned that it’s been 30yrs since the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack was released, and I am unwell. Music in the 90s really was something else.
