Microsoft to demo its new ChatGPT-like AI in Word,
Post# of 121672
Microsoft wants to seize the AI opportunity throughout 2023, and unlock some of the features and power of its Prometheus Model that it hasn’t publicly discussed yet.
I wonder if the app will have an Achille’s Heel or even crash and burn like Icarus.
Anyway, beware of Microsoft bearing first iteration apps.
Prometheus, write me a ball-busting response to a right wing post using Greek god references. Put something in there about pearls before swine. Also a little Shakespeare, twill serve.
The original account of Prometheus can be interpreted as presenting the existence of both good and evil in human life. (Prometheus is both a trickster and also a hero to humanity). In his role as an advocate for humanity, he was revered by the educated people of Athens.

Microsoft is getting ready to demonstrate how its new ChatGPT-like AI will transform its Office productivity apps. After announcing and demonstrating its Prometheus Model in its new Bing search engine earlier this week, Microsoft is gearing up to show how it will expand to its core productivity apps like Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

Microsoft is moving quickly with this integration mainly because of Google. Sources tell The Verge that Microsoft was originally planning to launch its new Bing AI in late February, but pushed the date forward to this week just as Google was preparing its own announcements. Google then announced its ChatGPT rival Bard a day ahead of Microsoft’s event.

Nadella’s push for AI across Microsoft’s products is driven by the consumer response to ChatGPT. Analysts at UBS estimate that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly active users after just two months. More than 1 million people have signed up for the Bing waitlist in 48 hours, and Bing was the third most popular app in the App Store in the US as of Thursday.
Microsoft wants to seize the AI opportunity throughout 2023, and unlock some of the features and power of its Prometheus Model that it hasn’t publicly discussed yet. Expect AI to be the big buzzword for the entire tech industry throughout the rest of the year, as Microsoft and Google kick off a battle for the future of search and AI.

This crazy AI-race is heating up fast despite the mistakes AI is making - not to mention the disruptions it will cause.
From an article in The Verge two days ago, about the AI included in the new Bing and Edge having the ability to write things for you:

There’s even a compose tab in this new sidebar that makes all the work of typing in parameters a little easier, offering quick options for users to specify tone, format, and length (rather than having to type these qualities out by hand, as you do in ChatGPT). You can ask Microsoft’s AI model to write about anything here, and it will be neatly formatted and ready for a blog post, email, or a simple list.
Imagine entire discussions being mostly argued by AI.
That article from two days ago included what the journalist called "an impressive and genuinely funny" resignation letter he had asked Microsoft Edge's new compose feature to write. He'd requested the funny tone.
From that letter:
So, I’ve decided to save you the trouble of firing me and just quit. I don’t want to compete with a machine that can crunch numbers, generate reports, and make witty jokes at the same time. I don’t want to work for a boss who values AI over human intelligence and creativity. I don’t want to be part of a company that is willing to sacrifice its employees for the sake of efficiency and profit.
I’m sure you’ll be very happy with your new AI assistant. I hope it doesn’t turn against you and take over the world. I hope it doesn’t make any mistakes that cost you your reputation and customers. I hope it doesn’t get bored and start playing games with your data. I hope it doesn’t develop a personality and fall in love with you.
But if it does, don’t come crying to me. I’ll be too busy enjoying my life, pursuing my passions, and finding a new job that appreciates me for who I am.
