Exiting to see what the future brings with the use of AI. Have you download the Copilot App, yet? What are you waiting for? #Copilot, #microsoftcopilot #microsoftsecurity

Copilot is powered by Prometheus, a customized language model developed by Microsoft. It is not merely a facade built on top of GPT-4; rather, it is based on the foundational principles of Large Language Models (LLMs), with GPT-4 serving as one of its components. Think of it as an advanced and specialized version that incorporates the strengths of GPT-4 while also integrating additional enhancements, fine-tuning, and bing search. #msft #llm #AI #copilot #GPT4

Copilot is not just a new buzzword. It’s enhancing your work. Evolving otherwise unachievable potential. And enabling exponential saving of what we value the most in life…our time…in the things that we do every day, both at work or otherwise. #copilot #microsoft #genai

A new era of AI is here and Copilot is available to be your companion in all your ideas.

I really, really like this ad Microsoft! it reminds me how I felt when I read Erik Brynjolfsson's Standford publication a couple of years ago about the Turing Trap" https://lnkd.in/gquKrrQj "..when AI is focused on augmenting humans rather than mimicking them, then humans retain the power to insist on a share of the value created. What’s more, augmentation creates new capabilities and new products and services, ultimately generating far more value than merely human-like AI" I deeply share that belief and view.

I'd encourage everyone to checkout Copilot in your M365 apps and Bing. I'm using it every day to improve how I find the answers and content that I need, especially in Teams and Edge. I've found it useful to use a chat session to continue to refine the results or target new areas. Just recently, I was reporting a status and had someone question whether the status was correct. The update I had given was based on a status update I had gotten from a Program Manager in the last week or so; but given the pushback, I wanted to verify that I had heard it correctly. A year ago, this would have meant searching Outlook for emails and figuring out what meetings I was in with the Program Manager and then reviewing recordings or transcripts to find the status. Yesterday, I used Copilot to provide a list of any status updates that the Program Manager had given about the project over the last week. I had the answer in 20 seconds instead of the 20 minutes that it likely would have taken me a year ago. A recent non-work example was using Copilot to help identify potential vacation destinations. A recent example was asking Copilot to setup a 7-day vacation to Hawaii. The results were good; but I wanted to check out two different cities, so I continued the chat by asking Copilot to split up the trip between those two cities and again the results were good; but I also wanted to hike. So, I asked Copilot to pick 3 hikes that were near the destinations or on the drive between destinations. Copilot returned a couple of short hikes that were less than a mile. I wanted to step it up, so I asked for hikes between 3 and 6 miles with less than 2500 feet of elevation gain. To finish off, I asked Copilot to provide a complete day-by-day itinerary including the hike distances and elevation gains, along with the driving distances to each destination. I was really impressed with the results, and it gave me a result that would have taken hours to research. I hope you find it useful as well.

So much AI hype is focused on business and research that we forget about the potential for AI to transform individual's lives. Visit copilot.microsoft.com and ask for help. Simple requests like: Plan a weekly menu, generate ideas for a birthday party, get help with date night are just a few keystrokes away. And if you aren't sure, there are sample prompts on the page to help you understand what is possible. #microsoft #ai #copilot
