I actually want that. Not so I can chat to the AI, but so that everyone else who is forced into the office so that they can be on a call with their teammates in other regions don't distract me, and vice versa. I have noise cancelling headphones, but even they aren't enough.

I'm old enough to remember cubicles that had noise absorbing walls. Idk who thought open offices with hard reflecting surfaces was a good idea.

Managers who thought a panopticon was the best way to organize.

In a previous job, the manager had a low horizontal slit window in his office that allowed him to watch everybody in the open office from a seating position.

Meeting rooms are there for a reason. And if there are not enough, good excuse to not go to the office
