This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Pretty sure its main function is to back up your data to cloud fully accessible by microsloth
okay, but why did they used a guy beatboxing to illustrate their statement ?
Turns out it was a better use of his time, than trying to use Copilot.
"speeding up some tasks yet making others slower due to lower quality outputs"
So use it for the tasks that were made more efficient, and stop using it for the ones that slowed down or were low quality.
I think they mean that the output that makes task X more efficient slows down task Y that uses the previous output.
If that's what they meant then it's bad writing.
I love that the only AI goal the oligarchy can focus on is making sure we can all use it to work more.
If you can be in three meetings at once with AI then every single one of those meetings could have been an email
Or a group chat
There's meetings other people need to have and I just need to know broadly what was said. Transcription and summerizing would be great for that
That is, if I could trust its accuracy. Which I don't.
I mean basically. Call me a paranoid communist but given half the chance they'd fucking bring back slavery.
I think we are there, just under the name of capitalism vs slavery.
She looks happy too!
I believe that's the "I spent six years in college and $150,000 for the 'privilege' of sitting in teams meetings all day." look.
Yeah, no shit. But they nearly doubled the price. I canceled my membership, but I doubt enough did to actually matter.
I was fine paying $60 a year for Office. I was never gonna use the AI stuff. When they said it was $100, I bailed. So now they don't get the $60. But enough people will go on paying that they will actually make more money on Office in the next year, not less.
Not enough people are willing to vote with their wallets or even their feet to effect any meaningful change. At least not when it comes to their tech toys.
I have been using Libre office for a while now and it's superior to office in every way.

That and most governments are wrapped up in Windows, and therefore kinda just captive to the insane pricing. I get everything I need out of LibreOffice, personally.
Kinda want to send this to my company lol
According to the M365 Copilot monitoring dashboard made available in the trial, an average of 72 M365 Copilot actions were taken per user.
"Based on there being 63 working days during the pilot, this is an average of 1.14 M365 Copilot actions taken per user per day," the study says. Word, Teams, and Outlook were the most used, and Loop and OneNote usage rates were described as "very low," less than 1 percent and 3 percent per day, respectively.
Yeah that probably won't have the intended effect...this basically just shows that AI assistants provide no benefit when they're not used and nothing else.
People probably tried it, found out that it's crap and stopped using it.
.this basically just shows that AI assistants provide no benefit when they're not used and nothing else.
so you think they may be useful but people just like to work harder? or perhps, they tried and saw no benefit at all and moved on?
Ugh, thought this could've referred to a Trial as in "All rise for the judge", not Trial as in "Your free trial has expired".
We're way overdue to put AIs on former trials.
No shit ‐ the AI bubble provides no value, but it is exciting for the c suite and governments.
I don’t see where a government would need a chatbot. Anyways, chances are that half the staff was already using some form of LLM before this trial.
Lots of LLM shills in these comments. I hope your work doesn't value reality/accuracy.
I use Copilot for generating images of concepts for presentations at work. It helps me get my point across and no accuracy is needed because it is taking the place of clip art and Google image searches. There is absolutely a place for Generative AI in the workplace. Whether it is worth the cost and whether people are trusting it too much is another question.
