I thought some of the demos of copilot in office apps were impressive
patrice
16:30:54
Oh.. it demoes well. That's kinda why it's so hyped right now
ChuckJ
16:31:50
I've tried it several times; some very good, some not so much. Not sure if 4 would improve those queries that weren't so good.

Actually I’m being unfair. I think it’s pretty good and getting better
ChuckJ

I prefer the natural kind, BobBeach. Wait, let me get my list of politicians.
BobBeach

BobBeach
16:37:17
Is that a real or a virtual hat BenORoethig ?
BobBeach
16:37:33
Real!
BenORoethig
16:37:46
Did that answer your guestion BobBeach?
ChuckJ
16:37:50
Ben's hat is equipped with ChatGPT
BobBeach
16:37:54

BobBeach
16:38:14
Apple secretive? Surely not.

AI is perhaps a misnomer. It implies a computer that’s thinks for itself. It’s nowhere near that
BenORoethig
16:42:26
That's why ML is the preferred indsutry term
patrice
16:42:29
My computer already thinks for itself! :D

I can't help it Patrice, its all of my genes
JeffG
16:59:19
I'm so bummed I screwed up my transition!
BenORoethig
16:59:38
That's be 10 hours of prostration for you
JeffG
16:59:49
I'll clear my schedule
