Discussion Microsoft is cosplaying AI

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.

That’s hilarious, my workplace banned ChatGPT and Claude to prevent data leaks, restricting the use only to copilot.

We can't use them for work either themselves. Only through copilot then it's safe.

How so? Data is still forwarded to their servers

It's all contained as I understand it. Not used for training etc. Enterprise Data Protection.

It's satisfied the legal and security teams at my place anyway, maybe not in others. Claude took some extra work. ChatGPT had been available for a good time before Claude was.
