Not an ad. Just my personal experience.

I’m just starting to use this and it’s crazy how powerful it’s going to be. Most people still use free “AI” consumer web versions to just make googling a little better. But if you don’t learn MS Copilot and how to leverage Agents you’ll be passed by your coworkers and competition in no time.

Also, buy Anthropic stock once it IPOs.

Microsoft's crack at an AI assistant. Can be useful in churning out simple forms, but still worlds away from being able to do actual, intensive analytic work.

We also don't trust that shite at all with the sensitive data we use

Yeah, I'm so scared of the kids in college today who have a mental breakdown trying to write a three sentence email and need AI to do it for them.

So you are saying I should cancel my ChatGPT Pro subscription and switch to Co-Pilot?

I sell buggy whips to Amish folks in Lancaster County.

I’ll be alright.

Can I use it to turn a batch of 500 emails (msg files) into a searchable database?

I have no coworkers or competition.

Am I safe from the impending doom?

So far AI has been more of an annoyance than a useful tool in my experience.

I've sat through a few demonstrations for AI construction takeoff software, and none of it was useful to me.

Gmail insists on having an AI tool summarize my email, then give an AI response suggestion. I'm fully capable of reading and replying to emails my self, thank you very much.

But just like the dot com boom, these companies feel like they have to get on the AI train, even if the AI they're proposing in no way makes things easier or more efficient.

Copilot is one of the worst AI out there

If you're not using Amazon Q for anything IT related you're using the wrong tool.

I'll make sure my landscape guy gets on this when returns from Vail with the rest of the peasants.
