I sat though a intro to copilot training session and this is what a took from it:

Highly inconsistent - didnt work half the time for the Microsoft employee presenting.

Have to be super specific with paragraph of prompt - like devil wears parada coffee scene. Which means its less effort to do it myself than figure out what it wants me to tell it. This might be fun for making catboy pictures on my free time but zero at work. In fact less than zero time as time is lost unless I can use the same prompt again. So unless there is site that gives me lots of copilot prompts to reference its not worth my time to learn.

convert word to power point - sure thats useful but never had to use that ever so w/e

If being used in a meeting it will tell me what I missed if I step out. Rofl. So ok in the event you cant ask someone on chat wtf happened on the side because a order came at the door. Again never happened to me cause I dont have a toxic team.

Read teams chat - i can have it summarize my teams chat for decisions. First off decisions being done on teams with no email follow up? Teams has 30 day retention policy. Nothing of value is kept in teams chat.

Oh the best part:

it cAn FoRmAt ExCeL aNd PoWeR pOiNt FoR mE. I almost fell of chair laughing. According to Microsoft 80% of users dont know how to do this basic thing and need an AI to clean it up for them. Mate, if you can't do this simple thing you dont deserve the data. This is a literal skill issue and a simple one to fix. this it takes an hr, maybe 2, with 2 being how to google excel help. This is a secondary school skill. Hell i used it in primary school.

Bonus: If used in meeting it can tell ppl how upset I was and describe how it came to that conclusion. I have IMMENSE concern for working with a human who is unsure if I was flipping the table in front of them.

I cant wait for the next forced training. Thank god it was over teams or they would be seeing my signature look of not being impressed.

the benefit is price and reliability, it is cheaper than an employee won't call in sick and only bills for the seconds it works.
