Would humanity be better off? Or are people stupider when they are thinking out loud in front of recording devices?
How much do the lawyers deserve to know?

Within 15 years we will probably wear a necklace or other device that will record [at least the audio] of our entire lives. This will have a number of positive benefits (memory augmentation, etc.) but also as train data for AI.
Some people will. Others will refuse, and very likely refuse to interact with people with such devices. The "gargoyles" of Snow Crash (people living their lives with full recording devices on them at all times to upload to the metaverse) were not well liked.
And lest we forget more recent history, the term "Glassholes" came into existence to refer similarly to people with "I don't know if their camera/mic on their face is recording me or not!" devices on their heads.
Norms do shift. I remember the fuss over GMail "reading" your mail.
Today we already have dashcams, bodycams, security cameras, and doorbell cameras recording a lot of spaces previously presumed to be unmonitored. Another 10 years and continuous recording will be commonplace.
