Microsoft is endorsing the use of personal Copilot in workplaces, frustrating IT admins (www.neowin.net)

This is stupid. As an IT administrator a quick glance at my logs shows that everyone is using ChatGPT. No one cares about Copilot.

edit: So I guess the point is that IT admins are frustrated that Copilot for users in an org is $30 per month vs $10 per month for a home user. Again, I don't buy it. If I think of all the ways MS is screwing me, this is not high on the list. Microsoft's predatory bundling practices have driven the cost of their services to a ridiculous point, well before this Copilot noise.

Idk. Since ms is a walled garden. If you want your ai to read your documents and mail and whatever else you have at work copilot is easily the only way to do that effectively.

Except it doesn't do much of anything effectively

Do you mean that everyone who is using AI is using ChatGPT? Or that literally everyone is using ChatGPT?

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Anecdotally, I'm the only one in my workspace who doesn't use chatgpt. My coworkers all use it multiple times a day, from simple queries, to rewriting documents and emails.

Yes, this has led to some problems...

do you mean ChatGPT the website? Because you can use chatgpt models through copilot, but there are other models too.
