Microsoft Copilot- Part 1 (via ChatGPT)
OK, if you are reading this article, maybe you have seen or know what Microsoft Copilot is all about already. Maybe you use it and don’t want to see the marketing stuff, or maybe you do want to see the marketing stuff, because you don’t use Copilot and are considering it. In either case, the series of articles about Copilot we are putting together could be informative for you and maybe a little fun to see how things turn out. Follow us here…
Our goal was to see what ChatGPT would say about Copilot if it was asked to summarize “what is Copilot” and then use Microsoft Copilot to summarize what is Microsoft Copilot. See what we did there?
Why are we are we taking this approach you may ask, and what the heck is all of this stuff about anyway?
Firstly, we sell Microsoft Copilot as a Microsoft partner, so if you want to license it, Solvonex is your place to go! We use it everyday along with other AI Overlords or “robots” to simplify our IT jobs. And, at the end of the day, it is all about the money, so be sure to check back on our AI written article on why you should buy AI stuff from Solvonex….
Secondly, because we have asked the AI robots to write the articles for us to see what comes out of their crazy electron brains to compare and contrast. Seriously. We went there and entrusted the robots to develop the content unchecked.
We asked ChatGPT to write this first article or Part 1 on summarizing what is Microsoft Copilot. Then, in Part 2, we will ask Copilot to write an article on Copilot. Crazy, right? The simple prompt we used in this case, grammar be damned was: write an article summarizing what Microsoft Copilot is
After that, because we are really demented, we will ask each AI robot to correct, update, or summarize each other’s writing to see what happens in Parts 3 and 4 of this article series.
Is this like Skynet and Terminator? Will the Interwebs crash if we ask each AI robot to correct each other’s scribblings? No, this is not like Skynet….well, we assume this won’t create Skynet (hint: it is probably already out there), but our founder wanted to see what happens when you ask these two AI robots to write an article about the same topic and then let the hijinks ensue! We’ll add our review of Copilot at the very end and talk pricing as well so you get some kind of value out of all this reading and maybe buy something from us. Hey, as we said before, at the end of the day, it’s all about the money.
Without any further mishegoss, below this line is all ChatGPT without any additions or corrections from us summarizing what Microsoft Copilot even is….enjoy!
