Microsoft is bringing generative artificial intelligence technologies such as the popular ChatGPT chatting app to its Microsoft 365 suite of business software.

The enterprise technology giant said Thursday that the new A.I. features, dubbed Copilot, will be available in some of the company's most popular business apps, including Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

This AI moment of GPT4, paLM-E, and Stability AI is literally a nuclear deflationary bomb and is by far and away the biggest deflationary shock the world has ever seen, in the shortest ever period of time too, and is easily the biggest technology shift humanity has ever faced (maybe exceeding that of the nuclear bomb itself).

As Microsoft rolls this technology out into Microsoft Office, it will scale to over 1bn users in probably months, changing the nature of work, forever.

Nothing has ever happened like this before and we are all spinning to get our heads around what this means... for literally... everything.

The disruption to knowledge workers is beyond our imagination, both good (productivity) and bad (less jobs).

The opportunities it offers by leveling the playing field for poorer countries is also a systemic shock.

The genie is out of the bottle and it is not going back in.

While things are being over hyped I'm sure you can see the effect of being able to chat to a bot that is well versed in so many areas?

Why go to the in house legal department to get answers to your questions if you can just ask the bot? Same with finance, HR, facilities etc.
That means less hours to fill in those departments which means they need less staff.

Software dev isn't any different. The less the dev team needs to assist with excel macros, temporary websites for things like competitions, promotion etc etc the less the dependence is on them for a business unit to operate. Sure the big stuff will still require the experts be that law, finance, dev etc but AI like this can empower users to do a lot themselves without the dependence on someone else.

I've already seen that in our organisation with certain power users.

Does a little more than that. Many junior consultants are stressing their arses off right now.

EDIT: I pasted the wrong url. :( Here is the excel one.

 
Superboosted Clippy.

"It looks like you're writing a resignation letter. I have completed and emailed it for you".

"It looks like you're writing an insulting letter to the President. I have made copies of that letter for legal purposes, and have informed the po-po and the army".

"It looks like you're spending too much time on Stormfront/Hitler/Nazi/Ossewabrandwag/AWB things. I have notified HR, the police and the army".
