Previously you had to buy the Copilot Al separately, now they bundled with the 365 subscription and raised the price
Because no one would buy it as a separate product.
Why is that? Because any AI is only as good as the people programming it, and only as right as the information it accesses or is allowed to access, and only as smart as it is allowed to be. It cannot make decisions that are smarter than human inputs, despite being able to sort through millions of facts faster, because it has no sense of what we
used to call "conscience". Itself, AI states it has no opinions, but it fails to notice that this
itself is a limitation.
If you think about it, no civilization, no university, no high school really "produces" results that are smarter than average. The few times real geniuses came to be, that is the exception that proves the rule. Same with families: Very few kids turn out smarter than their parents, and in this environment, with poisoned foods, plants, water, lakes, chemical overloads, most kids are turning out dumber. Look at the various concepts of news, internet, fights and arguments over nothing, and tell me that I am still wrong.
Think: You probably know a few people in the software world. Ask yourself: Are these people at all capable or outstanding in the fields of law, medicine, history, philosophy, biology, chemistry, physics, linguistics, literature, art, psychology, sociology, botany, music?
I don't think they are. I am sad to announce that they are, on average, a very narrow-minded bunch. How can they make AI smarter than themselves? Yes, AI is faster in sorting things, and faster in trying to but things together that were not tried before by humans, but it cannot be the final arbiter over whether the result is useful or not, better, worse or not , with untold consequences or not. For that we still need humans, and if those humans lack a conscience, then things could get complicated. In a way, don't ask AI to be doing what you as a human being ought to be responsible for. If you don't know that, you don't know enough. You can come to this conclusion both from a philosophical or religious point of view, but only if you care enough about others compared to yourself,
If you wonder why I am leaving out Political Science and religion from the above list of sciences, that's because these are fields very much corrupted by unwillingness to change, to reason, to consider others ideas at all. And they are all so open to manipulate, coerce, subdue, punish, harass, tax, push, rule by fear, rule by getting believers to hate others, and so forth. These "sciences of manipulation and false promises" need to be treated separately and kept in check, as much as is peaceably possible. You can see why I find it odd that some software types are calling themselves "evangelists" of one software or another. It's a bit like: "Give me a sign!"
