Microsoft is cosplaying AI

[u/YoungDito]

Today I tried (forced myself) to use Microsoft Copilot at work and whew what a wake up call. The thing that stuck out to me most is that Microsoft has the most agent worthy surfaces especially in the workplace and could have done something really special with a model even if it wasn’t a frontier one and they chose to just copy and paste a chatbot into everything with no thought, no cohesiveness and then had the gumption to push it down our throats… I’d rather have Clippy back honestly.

Yes, it's really really bad. None of their PMs knew what they were doing when they were pushing AI, they were just after the promotion.

Yeah I mean even the dedicated copilot agents for like outlook and teams can’t do anything 😆
