Microsoft 365 Copilot – your copilot for work

Can one bring a sexual harassments complaint against a machine? I see this thing being trained up on material within an HR department only to parrot back some horrible phrase it learned after reading hundreds of harassment complaint discussions.

I used to work surrounded by lawyers. Just like doctors drift into discussions of horrible diseases, lawyer drift into discussions of horrible legal situations. Letting Clippy "learn" from that material seems really dangerous. How do you kill/reset this thing once it has become poisoned?

There are built in guardrails. Those are so strong it effectively lobotomized the LLM and force to abort its own internal process in favor of just saying: "I am sorry Hal, I afraid I can't do that".

Try to make ChatGPT or Bing to even attempt to write a snarky and negative email to your coworkers. It will refuse to do so.

Jailbreak attempts may work, but with how strong the guardrails are, it is unlikely you can consistently succeed. And any failed attemps can be report to sysadmins and forwarded to HR. Too much risk.

The British figured out long ago how to insult someone with praise. This is why British comedy is so good. They have use such creative discourse to call out their politicians without libeling them as the liars they are.

You would just bring an HR complaint against the person that didn't proofread what the AI said.

Isn't proofreading one of those low-hanging fruits, one of those those easy and mundane tasks at which AI excels?

If the green squiggles in Word are any indication, not at all. Maybe Microsoft has improved it lately?
