When can I talk to it on my PC? Typing to talk to an AI is so 2022.

#212Hurrah! Now we can enter 3 bullet points, have an AI automatically turn them into 3 pages of waffle, and then copilot can automatically summarise those back into bullet points again.

#213Did anyone check if the terms and conditions of 365 would allow Microsoft to use content processed by AI for AI training? I mean we trust Microsoft with our data already, but what if it regurgitates our internal company data to other users?

And on an individual level, Copilot presents only data you can access using the same technology that we’ve been using for years to secure customer data.

#215Let's see where this goes, it's too early to judge. Now it's probably more of a publicity stunt, "riding the AI wave" now that it has reached recognition from non-technical people.
But let's see how this works in 5 or 10 years; it can only improve.

In the end, everyone types and reads the minimum necessary. 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.
Yes, having a black box AI reach into my client/employer’s confidential documents to better incorporate their contents in my emails sounds great. (And I know you’re imagining some adequate and reliable security practice, but those practices are harder to apply to generative AI than to people, where they’re already a clusterf—k. What you’re suggesting is a security specialist’s nightmare)
The article says: "Built on Microsoft’s comprehensive approach to security, compliance and privacy. Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 and automatically inherits all your company’s valuable security, compliance, and privacy policies and processes. Two-factor authentication, compliance boundaries, privacy protections, and more make Copilot the AI solution you can trust."

#217Really. 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
You're forgetting the part where Microsoft owns the integration, so your options as a new business are "pay Microsoft to decode the emails people are paying Microsoft to encode" or "spend man hours going through those emails without decoding them".
It's starting to make sense to me why this is a billion dollar industry like Google was. Not because of its proposed usefulness but it's ability to create a monopoly where the options are to sign an contract you don't get to negotiate, or be "outcompeted".
It feels like a mirror of Google's relationship with content creation sites. They created and continue to benefit from a reality where the options are "give Google your content for free to index and use as it likes" or "your content isn't discoverable by people".

I'm.. Mostly fine with that.

There is even a paid app doing that now! Beyond free ones. That's how rare problem is this. :D You actually meet with it daily, hourly if using two or more windows by the same app. Just because you are a hobbist user and never met a productivity problem it doesn't mean that the professional population does not suffer from it (see, I can make unfunded assumptions too about the other end ;) ). All around me have this p…
> There is even a paid app doing that now Does that somehow change prioritization? If anything, it would lower the priority because there's a workaround people can use. > All around me have this problem, with various level of seriousity. Google the problem, like I did for prolonged time searching for a good answer, it will bring up masses of troubled people. If it was as large of a problem as you claim, with as wide…

Until this happens:
