I feel like this is one of those times where there is huge “second mover advantage”
AI tools will make work more productive. But right now we are in the pre-Lotus123 era where none of the tools work intuitively and synergistically and there is a hell of a lot more futzing and Solitaire than spreadsheet wizardry
We just signed a lease on a new place. Most of the paperwork we could do online but a couple things needed to be dropped off in person at the realtor’s office. It’s a decently large office and there’s TVs there with info and stuff for staff. A few panels that show up talk about seminars for how to better sell a property, and one of them was called “The AI Revolution in Realty”. I have no idea how AI can help with selling a place, everyone I know wants to view places in person. I guess if you’re selling a place to someone overseas who’s about to come here for school (pretty common where I live), then maybe AI can help deceive them so they’re more likely to purchase/rent? That’s the only thing I could think of. Realty is a decently in-person job, that’s not something AI can be integrated with. Maybe I’m wrong and there’s a good explanation for it, but I can’t think of one. It’s the most forced integration with AI I’ve seen personally.
Not just MS. So many places are trying.

They are trying but Microsoft emailed my work email, yes on office 365, that now is a great time to try Copilot
Microsoft had a “bug” in which after you update, even though you have copilot disabled, would show the icon anyway.
We have a government required e-mail address (privacy@<company.com>).
It literally got 0 e-mails, 0 spam except for that “try Copilot” mail
