When AI Makes Meetings “Efficient” — But Not Useful

This cartoon came from the modern workplace truth that even with AI-driven productivity tools, meeting culture still finds a way to waste time. You cut the duration, reduce the agenda, add the tools … and still spend half the session figuring out why you’re there.

Because the problem usually isn’t the technology — it’s that nobody knows the purpose of the meeting to begin with.

If anything, AI has just made us more efficient at being confused.

Ever attended a meeting that could’ve been an email, a message, or just nothing at all?

Do share your experience — I’d love to hear it.
