Comment on Microsoft starts testing Copilot Vision update that can “see” your screen and apps

Mildly approaching an actually useful AI in the stupidest way possible.

I don’t need an AI shortcut in Excel that is just a chatbot. If it could actually perform complex redundant tasks, then it would be useful.

“Copilot, please create 3 charts of the most important data and create a Powerpoint with animations to present it.”

Until it can do things like that, it’s useless to me.

Honest question: what do people actually use this for?

I’ve found it useful in providing scripts for me that I can use as templates. You still have to fix a lot of stuff as it makes crazy assumptions and hallucinates a lot but it’s useful.

Honest question: what do people actually use this for?

My wife is on a course to learn (just enough) excel fancy tricks to do her job better. We all hate it. There was a formula misbehaving, and I described the error to a ChatGPT window. The window returned some recommendations to look at, and one of them was correct.

I use it to write ansible for me, since I never want to get good at it and I never want to do it beyond paid work. I would take up a serious pot habit if I could be assured of destroying only the brain cells that record my memory of doing ansible. I write my config management with tools that are decades more advanced, and those I want to learn and retain.

It’s called recall or something. If you are trying to find something you saw before but can’t remember, it remembers for you.

Copilot, what was the video on Pornhub I saw a few months ago, with the brunette who looks like Jessica from accounting? And she had like 4 guys in her at once and was eating spaghetti?

  What’s the opposite of “concentrating on remembering something strengthens neuron pathways”?
