@@ZA-lv8ba it's an AI chat bot. It was designed to be able to do do things such as have a natural conversation, or if you ask it to write something with information you provide, it can write it up for you. Microsoft bought it and it is now intergrades with Bing so it can also do internet searches, find info across multiple websites and write up a detailed answer. Of course the info it provides is only as good as the sources it ends up using, so it can make some mistakes.
Having ChatGPT be connected to Excel could be so amazing to have. Imagine asking it to create so many UI, equation, and other functional modifications for you. Could be so useful!

Chat GPT is insane. I’m a heavy machinery mechanic. I decided to quiz it on a bunch of random technical questions. It’s legitimately insane how correct and convincing it is without being to specific. Since it can’t know exactly what I’m talking about and search manufacturer service manuals for specific answers… at least so far. It is crazy.
Programmers already have some version of that! For those who don't know Microsoft owns two of the most used IDEs (Software that helps your programming), as well as the biggest and most used git service (Place to save and share code)! And now there are plugins to use ChaGPT while programming! You start writing code and it suggests what to write next, you ask for a piece of code by describing the functionality and it just... gives you code.
I think they actually use AI on PowerPoint. They offer style designs for slides based on: 1) the overall design template, 2) the slide type and 3) the CONTENT ON THE SLIDE.

@mkbhd it’s already there in enterprise version. Copilot can scan your teams, outlook, azure, sharepoint, onedrive, git and give you comprehensive answers based upon what data you have access to. It has integrated AI in word excel ppt outlook and teams.
There’s something similar to Apple’s spotlight in the Bèta of Windows when you install certain updates from their website (it’s a little complicated and requires a few commands) but it works pretty well! Though not as good as Apple’s spotlight search
ChatTPT with Google or with Apple sounds more useful to me tbh. Who still uses MS Word? Even if most people use it, they can easily copy stuff over from their browser. But imagine ChatGPT combined with Google Search. Or ChatGPT used to augment Siri’s abilities. Would be mind blowing.
Bing chat has actually been pretty good. It’s been way more enjoyable that google search. You get what you want answered in a human like way. It also includes link to its sources for the information. It’s not perfect as it sometimes references advertising or marketing as references so just be aware of that. Yeah have animated avatars for Bing chat would be cool. Bring back Clippy is a great idea. Having a bunch of avatars available for Bing Chat would be epic. Don’t forget about Cortana, a Cortana avatar for Bing chat would be the Waifu some people were waiting for all this time. 😂
Marques my man, Clippy was the default assistant, there were also other options, some downright boring, others really interesting. MS could really bring them back
I remember clippy being very nice and helpful. Sarcastic 2023 Clippy with a chip on their shoulder would be appropriate based on being’s pissed that MS got rid of it for all these years.
If Microsoft can actually make Outlook work properly and crash less that would be good enough. But definitely bring back Clippy. I 100% support bringing back Clippy.
Maybe they can even use it to help them develop windows. Like so they can actually finish implementing one of their many design systems across the product.
I remember Clippy wasn't alone, there were other "agents" I think they were called like that, there was a dog and a wizard or something and a lot more. Never really liked them and most people hated Clippy (the most popular of them) for being useless and annoying but now with AI things may change.
Also Excel. Instead of needing to know the formulas, you type "In column X show gross revenue minus COGS, but only if the date in column B is the current quarter, otherwise show 0" Also Bing+ChatGPT could legit take down Google search
Hey MKBHD. Completely unrelated to the video itself. Thank you for not putting burned in captions on your YT Shorts. I hate that that's a thing now. Why can't I just LISTEN to a video. If you need captions that's what autogenerated Closed Captioning is for.
TBH Cortana 5 years ago was a better pocket assistant than Google, siri, and Alexa are today. You could say, "hey Cortana, remind me to floss when I get home" and once you got home, you got a notification to floss. Try that w8th Google now. It sets 'a reminder to floss when you get home' then asks you when yo set the reminder.
That would be dope if they added the option to change your virtual assistant, so you can have a choice on the skin of your assistant. Clippy, Cortana or some other characters
