AI vs. Human Reporting

The other day I was explaining to someone the benefits of proceedings writing, meeting reports, note taking, meeting minutes, and our vision at Nairobi Rapporteur Services. He unknowingly poured cold water on the elevator pitch when he said, “I just use AI during my meetings nowadays. It produces instant transcripts of the discussion.” Fair. The world is navigating towards the “machine” making work easy for us. I’m not naïve. Meanwhile the rest of us are in the race to compete with the machines that are taking over from us. You know?

But then I got thinking about the whole movement of shifting from traditional human work to AI-enabled work. At first was the obvious that AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. [Told you I’m smart]. And the fact that it’s “artificial.” According to Google, that means ‘made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally…a copy of something natural.’ Meaning the whole idea of AI is a copy of what is already naturally part of our being known as human intelligence.

The other word in AI is intelligence. Intelligence can both mean the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills, and in the military, or in politics, it can also mean a collection of information. When we combine the two, AI simply means information produced by human beings like me and you. And while we should all explore opportunities to be a step ahead of AI and of the fast-approaching future, we are obligated to not be intimidated by the technology solely because our human intelligence will always be superior to the artificial.

We have compiled a table of comparison between the artificial and our more superior, God-given intelligence that motivates us at Nairobi Rapporteur Services to be the best in proceedings writing, note taking, conference reporting, report compilation, and converters of ideas into searchable data that gives Artificial Intelligence the value it possesses.


Artificial Intelligence

God-given Intelligence

Produces one draft that you still have to correct

Will produce rough and final drafts that’s ready for use

Cannot pick up all spoken words and local accents

We have experience with all types of accents and always make sure we pick it all up and put it all down in the report

You still have to pay someone to operate the software, to update it, and to look out for the latest releases in the market.

You only have to pay us once and we will deliver, even overdeliver, the report.

We all know that AI produces content already existing on the internet

Human imagination and intelligence are infinite and new ideas are born every day. We are naturally alert to new ideas and equipped to make them better.

Does not give the full picture of the proceeding to include photos, graphs, infographics, etc.

We will insert photos, diagrams, graphs, and every other information that was shared in the conference, workshop, board meeting into the report.

Yapping in a Letter to the Democrats About the U.S. Elections Outcome

Dear Democrats,                                                                  Letter from Kenya We feel you. We know what it’s like to wake up after polls have closed, stare at your phone, or switch on the news on TV and not believe what you’re seeing. We know what it’s like to entrust your hard-fought campaign battle’s voting decision to the most ignorant adults walking the face of the earth. We know. We know what it’s like to campaign until the night before election day, to create a movement hungry for change, to gather the biggest crowds at campaign rallies. We know what it’s like to see results coming in and watching hours turn into days. We know what it’s like to run against half-serious candidates who speak like they are half-baked on matters communication. Candidates with questio...

Yapping About Betting and the 2024 U.S. Elections

The 2024 US elections remind me two hard lessons that I learned coincidentally this first week of November in 2016 (Trump vs. Hillary) and in 2020 (Trump vs. Biden) both at the eve of election days back when I was a passionate, but disillusioned day trader. Flashback to 2016. I had just started some lessons on forex trading through a local trainer that September. And instead of being patient and learning the ropes before going into live trading, I wanted to start making profit immediately while still a student. The thing is, in early September 2016, I had lost a job that I mistakenly held too close to my heart and the whole experience of losing it broke my heart to pieces. I didn’t realize how no longer having a place called an office to go to every day and no longer having colleagues around whom I had consider as close friends could make me almost sink into depression. To compensate for that loss of purpose, loss of dignity, and loss of a stable income and financial security, I de...

Yapping About Ordinary Unhappiness

It seems that these days we will only listen to those who somehow flatter us, those who speak from the Circle of Fraud, those who keep insisting that the purpose of human existence is to find fulfillment and realize one's bliss and find the means to perpetuate an interminable happiness. The honesty of Freud was to say that the purpose of psychoanalysis was to turn a pathological misery into an ordinary unhappiness. And that ordinary unhappiness is good enough for a human existence. Because things, as Andrew Mitchell was saying on the Heidegger program, can always get far worse than they actually are. And this is what's very scary, that our barbarism is always just one step away from us.
