This is the best summary I could come up with:
Microsoft will soon allow businesses and developers to build AI-powered Copilots that can work like virtual employees and perform tasks automatically.
Instead of Copilot sitting idle waiting for queries, it will be able to do things like monitor email inboxes and automate a series of tasks or data entry that employees normally have to do manually.
It’s a big change in the behavior of Copilot in what the industry commonly calls AI agents, or the ability for chatbots to intelligently perform complex tasks autonomously.
Microsoft’s argument that it only wants to reduce the boring bits of your job sounds idealistic for now, but with the constant fight for AI dominance between tech companies, it feels like we’re increasingly on the verge of more than basic automation.
You can build Microsoft’s Copilot agents with the ability to flag certain scenarios for humans to review, which will be useful for more complex queries and data.
We constantly see AI fail on basic text prompts, provide incorrect answers to queries, or add extra fingers to images, so do businesses and consumers really trust it enough to automate tasks in the background?
The original article contains 842 words, the summary contains 188 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Shut up, AI
Probably worth noting that this bot uses LSA and, at least as I understand it, is quite different from gpts and the current wave of "AI" as discussed in this article.
And guess what, it sucks just as much
Why are you like this
It's not my fault that LLMs suck
The bot isn't LLM based, Which was made clear to you
That's what a bot would say!!!!!
*And so the humans fought the war that is now known as "the great internet war". It was during this time that the robots took over the planet earth. *
Why are you like this?
