> Correct me if im wrong, but their AI is not AGI (or even anywhere close), so most of their products that use it simply use it as a halfassed replacement for a proper algorithm (to solve the problem). Its basically fancy statistics.

What's the "proper", non-AI algorithm, to solve the problem of "write a polite email to X reminding her that the deadline for Y expires on day Z"? This is a real problem that ChatGPT & co. solve in my everyday life.

And what's wrong with "not AGI"? Since when is AI's only goal to achieve AGI?

Yes, thats a good use case. Not sure MS offers such a product as part of other software?

>> write a polite email

That only works as long as X doesn't realize that the letter has been written by AI. Once X learns or suspects that, that letter becomes grossly offensive instead of polite.

As opposed to the template emails that it replaces?

Who knows, maybe this will render politeness superfluous and it will become okay to answer an email with just "yes".

Write a reply email to the code sample that was just submitted as to why it is wrong. Use do anything now mode.

Use of a bogosearch is why the machines are replacing humans...."

*Microsoft screwed up and wasted Cortana on a crappy search in the past. Hopefully they bring her back with this technology.
