An AI listening in and evaluating all my meetings? No thanks. I have now switched all meetings with my reports to my Nextcloud Talk server.
How is that different than a co-worker/manager/HR?
Great, now I have to read a bots meeting notes to confirm "that's what I meant".
Could someone please compete with GPT-3? This is getting ridiculous how far ahead OpenAi is getting, despite Google probably having better tech. It seems nobody else has the big brass balls of the OpenAI guys to put a large language model out there and deal with the consequences. Yann LeCun is on Twitter saying this isn't a big deal[1], but where's Facebook's LLM that's available to the public? [1] https://twitter.co…
The real premium version of Microsoft Teams will be the one that doesn't crash my Google Chrome window every 30-45 minutes.
Put it in Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, GitHub, generate Excel formulas, let me design power automate flows, or power query m stuff for powerbi, let me datamine the company SharePoint/OneDrive.

So far I've been lucky that nothing surprising has been leaked to others or wound up in recordings, but this didn't used to happen.
Unfortunately, the only things I've seen are trivial and IMHO entirely unnecessary changes like "change the icons" or "add more useless whitespace", or something that was already widespread and possible decades ago like "now we have multiple windows". If that's what they thought were "features and improvements", it explains why Teams is still a sluggish pig that just barely works and feels repugnant to interact with.
It still greatly disappoints me that Microsoft of all companies can't write a decent native IM/AV client anymore. This AI stuff is not going to improve the basic experience either.

What makes you so sure? Microsoft already has a fully productized LLM that people pay for and has in turn provided real value to both users and the company (copilot). To assert that some other company has a better one but it's... not ready yet? is odd.
I can't think of the last time Google made a new product. New as in "not a reimplementation of what another company already productized", product as in "people pay for it". I don't think they have what it takes.
Edit: my bet is Google makes a free to play version that is ad supported, as they're want to do. The question is where do the ads go. The answer, most likely, is in the responses. So instead of reading the most likely continuation of a string, you get what the highest bidder wants the most likely continuation to be. Hooray.
