I was just looking into Github copilot, but it seem to have been abandoned. https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/40522

My first thought is, "gross"... now we'll have to wonder whether Manager X is even paying attention to the emails they're reading and responding to, or doing any actual work or thinking. Could lead to a world that's even more tilted towards politics and socially engineering your way up the ladder, versus competence and skill.
Is it any better or worse than delegating work to a junior team member and not bothering to review the work product? I love the idea that I can rapidly produce a rough draft of a document from notes, something I’m already doing with ChatGPT, albeit not as elegantly as if the functionality were integrated into Docs/Word.
When a junior team member screws up the interpretation, there is someone to hold accountable.
With Office 365Bot, there is no accountability for errors.
Really. I used chatGPT quite a few times to summarize corporate spam emails to me. So this now makes things deliciously ironic: 1. BS Manager jolts down a few lines then AI outputs pompous bullshit from the raw bullshit she wrote. 2. I get the bullshit email and then use AI to distill the bullshit down to the essential bullshit
This is giving me anxiety
Wonder how lossy this process would be, but given how non-AI-assisted conversations go this could probably be an improvement. Imagine the AI also has extra context from your work files so it can add relevant details.
How to turn it on? I do not see it in the Microsoft Word for example.

You would just bring an HR complaint against the person that didn't proofread what the AI said.
Isn't proofreading one of those low-hanging fruits, one of those those easy and mundane tasks at which AI excels?

> now we'll have to wonder whether Manager X is even paying attention to the emails they're reading and responding to, or doing any actual work or thinking If my experience in engineering is anything to go by, this worry existed since the dawn of middle management. AI just makes it give good responses instead.
"BingBot, could you please write an email subtly undermining inter–team cohesion by hinting at gossipy shit-talk without mentioning it explicitly, and also praise my report in a way that demonstrates I don't know or appreciate what they've been doing for the past 2 years, calibrated to hurt their self-confidence without quite causing them to quit?"
