Why does it have to be black and white? Why can't a bot do the exploration and notetaking along with people in the channel?

That's not how I interpreted it as being in this instance, but it could certainly be that way.

I guess that'd be like keeping all correspondence in a shoe box (to be reviewed later -- or maybe never), or maybe the automated recording of my phone calls with others (which is completely legal where I am; I don't even have to tell them).

And I suppose whether I felt that would be creepy or not depends a lot upon intent, and consent.

If the intent were pure and good, and the consent both informed and granted, then I'd have no problem with any of this at all -- whether a shoebox, a tape recorder, or a bot is involved in taking the notes.
