That sparked off several other people trying different chat engines, including CGPT4, whatever is integrated in Bing now, and the Google one. I noted that if you asked ChatGPT 3.5 "how many neutrons in a litre of water" it confidently tells you the answer is 556. Other times, it will be usefully wrong, giving you an idea that's not perfect, but still gives you a head start." Wait, didn't Microsoft just lay off its entire AI ethics and society team? Of course, all these companies - Microsoft, too - claim they're being responsible in the way they create their new offerings. Somehow, though, one is supposed to cheer that a piece of AI (hurriedly) slipped into one's most basic business tools can be utterly mistaken. Any more than you'd want your electrician to be usefully wrong.

There's one difference, though, between Microsoft's Copilot and, say, an American Airlines co-pilot. And it's there to help you land on the perfect version of you, the one that does more in order to, I don't know, be more.
It's there to free you to focus on steering your life. It's there to help steer you to your destination. ZDNet columnist Chris Matyszczyk flags Microsoft's latest "poetic use of words" when describing the ChatGPT-based functionalities it's bundling into applications like Word and Excel.
