Zero. We're not even allowed to log developer dummy data (much to the dismay because there are a lot of things we could do better if we knew the data, to see what went wrong, but MS believes it's better to prioritize privacy over accuracy). The data is accessed only to analyze and then discarded. Microsoft is a subscription based business, not advertising. So it doesn't need any targeted advertising.

[@JayParkMusicInMe]

The idea of copilot is spot on, and is exactly what I've been wishing for at work when I thought about how to apply AI to my job as a project manager. The most exciting feature is managing meetings like this where the AI is your assistant in taking notes, summarising and capitalising (by unmistakable memory) on the verbal exchanges, and also being able to tell the AI on how to summarise and report the data that you have (although collecting and cleaning up the data is the bulk of the work usually). But, thinking about how this could be adopted by my fortune 500 employer, honestly I would not trust the AI and be able to truly rely on it, probably not for a few years until this has been seriously tested in a business application with real stakes. There is no way the company would let us make multi million real-dollar decisions based on information compiled by AI, until it has been tested as bullet proof. I guess smaller ambitious businesses would have to pave the way. Very very exciting stuff. Love the fact that OpenAI is in collaboration with Microsoft, the company that provides all the tools of my trade.

[@Oldskoola]

You can get explanations on what copilot did and correct it, if needed. It’s not necessary to be 100% bulletproof as you are still in the driver seat. When it’s 100% bulletproof - the job of a project manager ist unnecessary.

[@denvermartin9656]

Pretty soon the AI would replace the project manager and business analyst. It would meet with the user/customer and based on a script ask the user questions that will automatically generate pm/ba artifacts, the methodology, action items, resources needed, etc and run the project. Taking it a step further, then the end user/customer gets replaced with AI and then we have AI building stuff for other AIs 😂

GPT-4 highly tackles hallucination

[@joelface]

It's a very good question. I can imagine someone asking it to make some charts that completely flub the numbers in some way that the half-paying-attention employee just glazes past and suddenly the entire company takes it seriously as they ask the AI to give them a summary of the entire presentation, and then they vote on how to move forward as a company without ever realizing it was all hallucinated... Wait is this a Black Mirror episode? Haha. But seriously, I do think they're getting a lot better at making sure it doesn't hallucinate... but the risk of it will always be there, I think. (Though humans can flub the numbers too, I guess. Reminds me of the self-driving-car discussion a little.)

Yes, first one is the second order effects they should be handling from day 1. For the data, I am pretty much sure it will overfit as it will only work on the input provided.

I think many companies have seen the coming tidal waves of a tech trend and put all their faith in that trend. This happened with NFTs and the Metaverse. Sometimes, though, that wave rocks the world like a tsunami, and the few companies who believed in it and brought it to fruition change the way we all live our lives. A long time ago, Microsoft underestimated the influence the Internet would have on our lives. They will not make that mistake again. Microsoft products have been mediocre at best for far too long, and them putting their faith into AI will most likely be the thing that changes that. That said. *You need to be careful.* Microsoft laid off its entire AI ethics workforce prior to the announcement. If Microsoft is the company that leads our world towards the inclusion of AI into our every day lives, I want them to be the safest they can be, and it's not looking good. While we're hopping from tech giant to tech giant, Google to Microsoft, Mac to Windows, Zoom to Teams, we cannot let that cloud our judgement on these companies.

@@qaazz You're right. The rick get richer, the poor get poorer. Hasn't required AI for that to happen... it's the natural progression of capitalism. The promise of AI is that we can theoretically address inequality through social programs like Universal Basic Income, allowing people to spend more time with their family and friends, and have a better work-life balance. What if instead of hiring those 3 employees to do the work of what used to take 5, you could still have the 5 hired, and have them work fewer hours. Unfortunately, the tricky thing is those with the money and power at the top are great at finding ways not to pay extra. They keep ALL of the profits from the extra productivity.

Great features. Will help us a lot

I am old enough to remember microsoft telling everyone AI was impossible and anyone who believed it was is crazy.

[@OutSider5112K]

SmartPhone also impossible 🗿

[@nintishia]

Kudos to Microsoft. Will impact everything for those who work with information.

[@Delvis343]

Didn’t they recently lay off a huge portion of their ethical AI team?

[@moneyall]

ethical ai? Who cares.

[@MustardGamings]

Who cares about ethics, ethics is what is holding back ai

[@Delvis343]

To the people replying: Why would you want less ethics?

[@MustardGamings]

@@Delvis343 cause it limits what the ai can do and say

[@Landgraf43]

​@@MustardGamings and with that mindset we will get to a point where the AI decides that humans are holding it back...

[@JackPelaFox]

I'd have to try it, because using copilot, reviewing its email response, changing the tone to natural, adding context, etc... This is not faster than just writing a response myself 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe sometimes could be useful? How often tho? 🤔 Again, I'd have to try it... Interesting, but yea...

[@snahashisghosh6075]

Google, where are you???

Oh thank god there’s an update to outlook literally all I care about this

Microsoft is going to give Google a run for its money

[@shashank5668]

At this rate of development we would require a world human day!

[@Omarfx007]

We need cortana integration

[@solaawodiya7360]

I agree 👍🏾

[@tejeswar]

The Microsoft excel spreadsheet and creating model was very neat and will be very useful too.

[@DavesTechChannel]

The first innovative thing Microsoft does in years.

[@KeyserSoseRulz]

You are thinking consumer space. MS dominates in the Enterprise space where the real money is. They are very much on top of their game there.

[@BitBlink]

Agree ^^^

[@junglemastah]

Big moves! I recently switched from Microsoft apps to Google drive + apps and though it was a pain, I'm switching back and signing up for 365 again thanks to this push and integration. If it can save me time, it's worth the $ - well done team.

[@MVIVN]

I can see this making a lot of people's jobs irrelevant. Who needs people doing data analysis if A.I. can analyse your data and create visual infographics, detailed analysis, and summarise it all for you? 😅

[@theneedytechie2468]

If Google workspace doesn't up it's game, this is going to smoke it out of existence. This is mind boggling how quick they are integrating the ai model with their products

[@d1p70]

goodle workspace is free - i doubt ms will be offering this to non-business subscription accounts, at least in the beginning. the back end computing costs are quite high for a feature like this.

[@nickthaskater]

This is dumbing down to a hilariously terrifying degree. Entrusting important data parsing and decision making to a chat bot is a terrible way forward. The error rate is far too high to blindly trust, and this will just ensure people are too lazy/stupid to realize they're getting bad data.

[@purplevincent4454]

You are 100% correct in the short term but in the long term these AIs will be far more capable and it’ll look stupid to be entrusting humans with such important tasks.

[@nickthaskater]

@@purplevincent4454 capable, how? They're only as capable as their models and the data they're taking in. To take them at face value is incredibly naive. There are reasons we should still be learning to code, do math, and critically analyze on our own rather than blindly and unknowingly entrusting machines to do it.

[@MaxStormz]

@@nickthaskater No one is saying you can't still learn to code, do math, and critically think about things.

[@nickthaskater]

@@MaxStormz That's exactly what many are saying. Read the comments on this video. The sentiment of "I don't need to do things anymore" is prevalent.

[@purplevincent4454]

@@nickthaskater if a machine can be more intelligent than any human that ever existed, run 24/7, doesn’t have any emotional needs and can’t be overworked, has perfect memory, then it will be seen as irresponsible to let humans do any task other than plumbing. The day will come but maybe not some day soon. Technical limitations could be met with traditional computing but there’s always quantum computing. As far as data is concerned, you could feed the ai to all cameras in the world paired with robot vision, have a multi modal ai for memory writing, vision/auditory cataloguing, and the main crux of the model (for logical reasoning) and another for centralizing and balancing all the models together. We are talking with 100 years of advancement (if that given the pace that ai has been improving). That said, I would say many things would be lost in such a society. Technology has already taken away from people. Basic things such as privacy and societal connectedness, no reason to think, that the idea of every child growing up to “be something”, won’t go away too. What will people do in such a world, who knows. Maybe just become philosophers.

[@m_ko]

That's amazing

[@bluetee.531]

The world of A.i is moving too quickly

[@Syndiate__]

The bigger truth is that the world of technology is moving too quickly. Humanity needed to learn how to be more open minded and have more compassion for others before the internet. However it arrived faster than we could learn, and now we have society as we know it. Of course in a couple years creativity and thinking will absolutely be suppressed by AI though.

[@MaxStormz]

@@Syndiate__ Yup, humanity needed a lot more maturation to responsibly handle the exponential progress at which technology is now advancing. I fear we might be plunging into an even deeper dystopia.
