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.

    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.

    Idk, I can think of plenty. Pricing models (finding comps and such) can be compiled in a fraction of the time! Online listings have AI-generated images of what different remodel options could look like! So on and so forth.
