Microsoft Copilot is a new feature in Microsoft Word that helps you create, edit, catch up and query documents using natural language. In this video, you will learn how to:
- Create a document from scratch or from a template using Copilot's suggestions and commands.
- Edit your document by asking Copilot to format, insert, delete, or rearrange content.
- Catch up on your document by asking Copilot to summarise, highlight, or comment on important parts.
- Query your document by asking Copilot to find, filter, or analyse information.

Can Copilot do anything other than generate banal middle management barf content on the go? Can it help me assemble and create technical documents where a deep knowledge of the subject matter is essential? Not impressed by this particular stunt.

[@ProductivityCoach]

This is just an example that is applicable across many sectors and organisations. Copilot uses OpenAI’s GPT4 Large Language Model so has vast knowledge. Researchers from Microsoft tested GPT-4 on medical problems and found "that GPT-4, without any specialized prompt crafting, exceeds the passing score on USMLE by over 20 points and outperforms earlier general-purpose models (GPT-3.5) as well as models specifically fine-tuned on medical knowledge (Med-PaLM, a prompt-tuned version of Flan-PaLM 540B).

[@ProductivityCoach]

I took the liberty of looking at your KZbin channel to discover your area of expertise. I asked Copilot to create a document using the prompt "Write a paper discussing the best methods for for sub-surface drip irrigation (SDI) beneath corn and soybean. Highlight various methods to be able to monitor soil matric potential, calculate volumetric water content, and schedule irrigation remotely via smart phone." You can download this from wetransfer.com/downloads/b97987be4a94149e6f39681c814761dc20231118182023/4fd76a483d05808cd8cfd937f9b8bac620231118182047/7e5218

[@cpfglobalagronomics6162]

@@ProductivityCoach Not a bad summary if sounding somewhat apparent in technical content. But it completely ignores TDR and heat pulse technology and includes the neutron probe, which is not a technology used to monitor soil water content anywhere in irrigated agriculture, SDI or otherwise (mainly civil engineering applications). Thanks for for looking at my KZbin channel, it needs it!

Looks impressive... but I'm not paying $30/month for it. At that price, it's clearly geared towards corporate users. Still cool though.

[@ProductivityCoach]

I get that and initially it is targeted at the enterprise market. I know that the services are not cheap to run and I pay for other AI services too so there is definitely a market there. The power here over other services is that is aware of your organisation’s data such as chats and documents. There’s an initial finding report at aka.ms/wit showing where users saved time so that’s an interesting read.

[@TheMaxAwesome]

Just a reminder of how little value this kind of work has if it can so easily be replaced by what is effectively boilerplate lego blocks. Also, the less you have to actually think about the content in your document to write it, the less deeply you will think about the underlying ideas. So you will end up with a bunch of half-baked shallow nonsense globbed together that no one in your org truly understands or can defend because after all, nobody in your org wrote it. Wonderful. Generative AI is just a tool for reducing headcount without concern for the consequences.

[@ProductivityCoach]

So this is a good discussion about generative AI rather than Copilot specifically. Copilot is so much more than generating a document but this was just one use case that I showed here. We talk about this as a Copilot rather than an Autopilot. If you can use technology to get the standard boilerplate blocks then you can focus your efforts on writing the 20% or 30% that is specific to your organisation.
