We are entering a new era of AI, one that is fundamentally changing how we relate to and benefit from technology. With the convergence of chat interfaces and large language models you can now ask for what you want in natural language and the technology is smart enough to answer, create it or take action....

Today we take the next step to unify these capabilities into a single experience we call Microsoft Copilot, your everyday AI companion. Copilot will uniquely incorporate the context and intelligence of the web, your work data and what you are doing in the moment on your PC to provide better assistance – with your privacy and security at the forefront. It will be a simple and seamless experience, available in Windows 11, Microsoft 365, and in our web browser with Edge and Bing. It will work as an app or reveal itself when you need it with a right click. We will continue to add capabilities and connections to Copilot across to our most-used applications over time in service of our vision to have one experience that works across your whole life.

Copilot will begin to roll out in its early form as part of our free update to Windows 11, starting Sept. 26 — and across Bing, Edge, and Microsoft 365 Copilot this fall. We’re also announcing some exciting new experiences and devices to help you be more productive, spark your creativity, and to meet the everyday needs of people and businesses.

    I get good sounding garbage out of “AI” four times out of five. This sounds like paying $30 to crash my productivity. But at least running the backend uses a gross amount of power and water.

      I get extremely good results out of AI and I am happy to pay 20 euros per month.

      I am sure it will find many happy customers

      Yeah AI unfortunately suffers from needing an operator that can explain their ideas clearly in written text, because that will directly change the quality of the output. You also have to be at least baseline knowledgeable about what you’re asking it or you won’t notice the errors.

      You can’t just be a computer illiterate person and ask it to make a python script for you and expect it to work. Like most things people aren’t realizing that it’s intended to amplify the workload of someone in a professional field that can do the job themselves and are looking to subsidize the grunt work or the time it takes to write an email or search the web for something.

      For those tasks it’s amazing and really helpful. I am in IT though so we definitely have bigger use cases than most. We are constantly having to integrate some bullshit application that HR thinks they need, etc.

      With AI I can search the web for relevant config commands or vendor documentation and have it assemble the data for me. It’s not always correct but it gets me on the right track consistently and faster than had I spent that time on the fourth page of DDG trying to see what I’m supposed to clear in the firewall for the manager that’s bitching shes not able to use whatever they want.
