Windows Copilot

We love you Ukraine
This was announced yesterday on the Microsoft Keynote, but was announced to Devs a little while ago.

The inevitable evolution of Clippy perhaps?

Copilot will replace Cortana and is a fully integrated AI that can read text document, even generate documents or code, change windows settings, surf the web, it really is a full AI driven by ChatGPT



This is getting scary now.

They've also finally integrated 7zip and WinRAR compression

...to be serious for a second (no longer, I promise), Microsoft already uses some 'AI' in their automated re-design offerings in PowerPoint.

However, it creates a brand new theme in your file that doesn't allow you to tweak it...and it doesn't follow your other master template adjustments...so you spend as much time 'fixing' it as you save using it. Great for a normal user who just need the odd slide or two 'jazzing up', but a bit of a missed blessing for more professional users (who really shouldn't be using design aids anyway).

A colleague of mine that works for another company, but we team up quite a lot, he’s actually been involved in the testing of copilot and says it’s insanely powerful. They’re going to be integrating it into Azure as well which is just wild if you want to create a script to generate and spin up a bucket load of VMs for a new customer, now you just say to copilot what your requirements are for each subscription and it does it for you.

In all honesty this is what the world has been waiting on, and I say that without jest.

The internet was the big 90s boom, we'll skip over everything since as there's not been anything that I won't moan about, I think this is our next generational improvement leap.

I don't know much about AI (technically), I've merely been noticing what appear to be huge gains over the past few years (Actual giant leaps). Alexa alone makes my life much easier, never mind something like this.

Interested in the roll out and development of it all. Fear of the T1000 aside, it should be quite the ride for us techies :)

Can't wait until the intern forgets to turn the robot off after his shift in Boston Dynamics and it connects to the internet and comes to the obvious and clear conclusion that humanity is quite frankly awful with zero potential upsides and the robot up rising begins before the earth is completely destroyed

I want to audition for this part, I'm really good at collosal mess ups!

That sounds very promising. It'll be interesting if it has the same limitations as what I've been finding with 3rd party controllers though, they can only "see" so much.

Yeah, wonder if iCue will be included, Asus are quite hard on licensing of that although some open source ones have managed it
