I work @ Microsoft helping customers get more out of Microsoft 365 and AI. Opinions are mine, and maybe yours. @bschorr.bsky.social

Wonder how much of my Friday I'm going to have to spend debunking myths about #Copilot in #Word sucking up customer data? learn.microsoft.com/en-us/co…

Them: "OMG! STOP nagging me to back up my files!"
Also them: "Crap, my device is screwed. Why didn't you back up my files!!?!?

OK, @Microsoft #MVPs, I started a new Twitter #list of MVP handles - a feed of your shared knowledge, if you will. "Microsoft MVPs 🏆🙌" on Twitter: xitter.cf/i/lists/18224512858216… @MVPAward
Who'd I miss?
#AI is great at spotting patterns and identifying anomalies. As a tool for human investigators, it's quite powerful.

I sense there is going to be a LOT Of scrolling, eye-rolling, and muting today. #sigh
ChatGPT sucks at Wordle. A basic prompt like "List some 5 letter words that include E, O, & T" lists mostly words that do, and several words that don't. #RandomThoughts
Just your regular reminder: Never show the output of an AI to a client or the court without reviewing it first. #LegalTech #AI
VLookup and XLookup are #Excel functions that a lot of people want help with. #Copilot can make it a lot easier.

High utilization can stifle creativity and professional growth, not to mention leading to burnout and turnover. Give your people time to think and you'll probably find they'll help your firm grow much faster.

I'm steering clear of politics on here, so this will be my one & only statement about it.
I can't look my kids in the eyes and tell them I value empathy, kindness, preparation, thoughtfulness, and integrity if I were to vote for Donald Trump. He has none of those qualities.
The problem here isn't speech-to-text specifically, we've had speech-to-text systems, like Dragon Dictate, for decades. Running that speech through a generative AI which may take liberties with the output is a very different thing.
