> ... "wasn't there a Robin Williams film where he did the viewing and editing of lifetime reels?"
Yes, yes there was. It was called "The Final Cut" from 2004. Just one more of many proofs of Robin Williams' stellar acting talent.
When I try to journal during the actual live conversation, I feel like I'm not fully there in the moment, not as responsive, not as realtime...
So far, only chat history and email history serve that purpose well.
I wish all the journaling would be done automatically for me - for all my calls, all my in person interactions (wearable pin/headphones/glasses with recording func?) - but ASRs/LLMs unfortunately are still not there to fully grasp all the terms and words from different languages, to make the transcript/summarization fully useful (my current experience for transcribing the calls in non-English language, with mixed terms from English, is that over 50% terms are not captured correctly for a specialized conversation).
Somewhat related - highly recommend "The Final Cut" movie on this topic where the recording of everything (audio, video) was implanted at birth for everyone - and ramifications of that.
Apparently this works by asking questions to someone while they are still alive. Then after the individual has passed, friends and family can ask questions to a video screen which will pick out the response that it feels is the most appropriate and play it. Though I'm sure we're not far off from a service that will do this through deepfake technology
Makes me think of the 2004 movie The Final Cut where people get memory implants that record their entire lives for the purpose of creating a highlight reel of their lives after they're gone
If you find such a concept interesting, I would recommend the movie Final Cut (2004) with Robin Williams. Not a particularly good movie but it does have this as an interesting premise.
Looks a bit like the movie Final Cut with Robin Williams
The movie The Final Cut is also about whole-life recording.
Movies like "Brainstorm": "The Final Cut" "Strange Days" "Total Recall" "Altered States" "Lawnmower Man" "Ex Machina" "The Thirteenth Floor" "The Truman Show" "Inception" "Selfless" "Flatliners"
You've just described the film "The Final Cut".
Also, 'The Final Cut', by Omar Naim, w/ Robin Williams, highlights some interesting issues with implants recording everything:

Can a model predict someone is Gay? Who knows. Can someone create a model that looks legitimate and then has false negatives and positives? Absolutely. Also, they will probably be able to sell it to countries.
This reminds me of a movie called The Final Cut by Robin Williams. Its where everyone has an implant for recording everything and you get a face tattoo to bypass it. In this case you would get a face tattoo that would intentionally misclassify you as whatever orientation that you want.
Or the movie "The Final Cut" with Robin Williams.
Reminds me of this movie:

You should see the movie Final Cut :)
Anyone ever see the weird, underrated Robin Williams movie "The Final Cut"? That was the first thing that came to my mind. Same basic concept

Robin Williams played in The Final Cut[1], which is a film that explores the idea of making a post-death movie called a "Rememory," usually shown at the deceased's memorial service. Williams plays the role of the editor of the Rememory, and he faces the internal and external dilemmas associated with uncovering all of a person's gritty life experiences.

If you're interested in the (imagined) implications of always-on recording devices, I'd recommend watching The Final Cut (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364343). Although it deals more with memories, the issues of privacy and behavior of those doing the recording are confronted.
The main thing that Google Glass makes me think of is the movie "Final Cut" starring Robin Williams : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364343/
and Final Cut, and a whole host of made-for-TV movies, depending on how much you're willing to relax the theme.
This project always reminds me of "The Final Cut" with Robin Williams. A somewhat disturbing near future scenario about life logging with an a brain implant and the social consequences

Depressing. This is like that movie with Robin Williams "The Final Cut". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364343/ A total privacy nightmare. Your government is gonna love it though.
Check out the movie Final Cut with Robin Williams. It's about a time when people have cameras embedded in their eyes that record EVERYTHING, then someone edits together a video of their life. It deals with the fact that these editors get to see literally EVERYTHING (sex, crimes, etc.) that the people do. Very interesting.
The movie The Final Cut has some interesting commentary on a similar concept. In it, a neural implant installed before birth records every moment of a person's life: waking, sleeping, dreaming, etc.
I suggest watching the movie The Final Cut with Robin Williams. It considers a world where parents pay to have organic PVRs implanted into their unborn children's brains. Every waking moment or dream is recorded, and the children are told when they reach 21 years old. The ostensible purpose of the implants is for video eulogies.
Y'all should check out the movie The Final Cut ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Cut_(2004_film) http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2978742553/ ). Not only is this one of the best Robin Williams movies I've seen, but it is also one of the best sci-fi films I've seen in a while.
