    All Microsoft services are for entertainment purposes only, as in you’d have to be absolutely crazy enough to use before a Microsoft sales rep has taken your execs to a steakhouse and strip club.

      Which is why they're all getting named Copilot now.

    Go to https://copilot.com and ask a question. You can see from the answer that it is clearly for entertainment only. Three years ago Microsoft was considered a leader for having the foresight to invest in OpenAI. Today they are a laggard.

      On the contrary, the first companies to acknowledge the new AI Winter will have a big competitive advantage over those still dumping money into the bottomless pit.

        My local ice cream shop has never invested anything in AI. Do you think they'll come out of this ahead?

          I've seen the "success" a non-software company has been having, trying to integrate AI into their processes. A hypothetical competitor who chose not to do so would absolutely be coming out ahead right now.

          I can't say whether this trend would continue, but the answer to your question today is "yes".

          Way ahead of the other ice cream shop, yes. Huh, turns out there is such a thing as a stupid question after all.

          My local ice cream shop doesn't even have a computer in the building. Well, unless you count the credit card terminal.

          Ice cream tends not to sell well in winter.

            Alas, no winter in my locality ever.

            New York City seems to be a counterexample - gelato and ice cream stores everywhere that seem to do decent trade year-round...

        Ok, so that’s good for Apple.

        Microsoft is invested heavily in OpenAI?
