to be fair, Microsoft is also shoving Copilot down our throats. They keep adding unremovable Copilot buttons to Outlook.com

I would say that neither corporation forcing AI on us is fair by any stretch

They replaced the "M365" app icon with "M365 copilot" and the copilot icon on android the other day. I Uninstalled it.

It's nice to be able to use copilot in some of these apps, it is shit to be forced to have it everywhere.

Oof, luckily I don't have to use o365 at work anymore.

It is one of the few useful usecases tho. It can summarize meetings if transcribe is on.

But can it summarise them correctly?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Mostly. Their transcription getting the wrong words are more of the issue.
