Now MS-Office Will "Fix" Your Words/Questions with "AI"

Microsoft Corp. said its AI assistant for Windows will start
rolling out Sept. 26 and the Office AI app will be widely available
Nov. 1 as the software giant continues to bake generative
artificial intelligence into its products.

Microsoft's Copilot-branded AI assistants will provide a
unified experience across operating systems, applications
and devices, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella
said Thursday at an event in New York. For example, Microsoft
showed how a user can ask Copilot to find a flight booking
from text messages.

"We've seen that the most magical and empowering moments
people have experienced with AI is when it's informed with
the context that extends way beyond what's in front of them,"
Nadella said. "This requires that what we think of today
as separate categories—search, productivity, operating
systems devices—all come together and evolve."

If you thought spell/grammar-checking generated really
weird results ........

So, it appears that from now on anything done with MS products
won't really be "You" - but your "AI" Overlord simply taking
some cues from what you really wanted to say/know ....

Oh, it'll "fix" your politics too, bet on it ...

One wonders if this 'function' will be 'switch-off-able' or not!!

I'm guessing NOT .... at least until someone finds the switch to turn it
off!! ;-)
