What happened to MS Office and copilot integration? They gave impressive demos[1] showing users create high-quality PowerPoint with good design and content just by prompting a few sentences more than one year ago. I don't have Copilot license so I don't use it by myself. If someone uses it daily, how good is it?

Watching the keynote, the feature where it spits out a design based on a prompt seems like a gimmick. If it doesn't work with MY design system (as opposed to curated design systems like MUI or Bootstrap or whatever) then it's useless. It's also probably not ready to design complex applications, as opposed to brochure websites and apps that fit into very common templates. The AI-powered search features seem really pro…

v0 by Vercel only outputs one UI library, shadcn/ui. Useful if you are wanting to use that library for example starting a project from scratch. Potentially vercel will add more. https://v0.dev/

You can also output HTML / Tailwind, but the ambition is to support custom React component libraries & design systems.

The problem is when other people are getting 'AI suggestions' based on your work. What if you don't own the copyright for the work you're producing (it's for a client)? What if you don't what AI being trained on your data?

Figma is explicit about this: > Two important highlights: First, all admins have control of whether their team’s content data is used for training. Second, participation in AI content training is not required to use Figma or Figma’s AI features. Learn more about our approach to training. Blanket bans on third party AI tools don't make any sense to me. As the parent commenter said, they already have all your data, so…

Is that control opt-out by default?

That's like asking why is it ok the use AWS to host my containers but it's not ok to leave company files in some other guy's S3 bucket.

No it isn't, the Azure ChatGPT API is operated by Azure, not OpenAI.

Still, it makes sense, as if your company is serious about data protection in the first place, it isn't just "using Azure", but has a contract with guarantees. Guarantees that don't carry over to randos using Azure just because it's Azure.

I saw this in a few of my friends' companies. I have asked to everyone how is storing data in Azure is better than using Azure ChatGPT API, and till now I haven't been able to get a good answer.

This. If you don't trust your provider when it says it won't use data you embed in your LLM API Calls, why do you trust them when you use any of their other services?

Because those other services are built with clear expectations of tenant isolation, and cross-tenant data leakage would be a near-fatal event.

But the models behind these AI tools have a single-tenant core, with tenant isolation added on as a heroic effort to fake what the technology does not support by default.

It's quite telling that they are showcasing a quite badly working AI feature that no one really asked for.

And yet pricing controls that people actually want? Oh 6 to 12 months maybe
