Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost
echodot@feddit.uk 1 day agoWe have it on our system at work. When we asked what management expected it to be used for they didn’t have an answer.
We have a shell script that ingests a list of user IDs and resets their active directory passwords, then locks the account, then sends them an email telling them to contact the support desk to unlock the account. It a cron job that runs ever Monday morning.
What do a need an AI for when we can just use that? A script that can be easily read understood and upgraded, new concerns about it going off-piste and doing something random and unpredictable.

Well yeah, AI shouldn’t replace existing, working solutions, it should be used in the research phase for new solutions as a companion to existing tools.
