Hadn't seen this variation before.
Recently, a colleague has had that thing where, un-asked-for by them, their "AI notetaker" tries to go to all the meetings in their calendar. This time it was double trouble: they somehow had _two_ bots trying to come into every meeting citing their name. Consequently, a few of us have had to boot out these bots at the start of a meeting, when the person themself wasn't there.
Yesterday, the _real_ person tried to go to a meeting. The host (who was a bit flustered due to connection problems) mistook their name for the bot appearing yet again, and kicked them out! so they missed the meeting!
(I found out only afterwards that they'd been trying to get on, and what had happened.)

Luckily it wasn't a meeting which hinged on this one person's presence, so not super high stakes. I was just thinking about it again now, and the phenomenon of "unwanted bot-behaviour causes knock-on problem". It reminded me of this more-troublesome episode, which I'd also read about yesterday:
