When Andrew asked his AI personal assistant to book him a spot in a gym class, he had no idea he would accidentally initiate an autonomous cyber attack.
An LLM used for language purposes is the best application. It’s using that hammer to drive a nail. When they deviate from that role to other things, that’s when the effectiveness drops. When Co-pilot was pushed into our enterprise system incorporated into Outlook we played around with seeing what it could do with summarizing emails we would routinely send and get. It made them pretty, I give it that. But it didn’t handle the information well and was very inaccurate at time when it was missing data. The whole hallucination thing. So just verify what it produces for you before you hit send.
The hallucinations are real. I don’t use them for longer stuff, I demand admin time for anything that’s longer than a paragraph. But for quick office politics type stuff that I don’t really care about but also need to not get ground under and also worry about coming off as blunt I’m kinda grateful to have it.
I have noticed that damn near every email I get that’s longer than a paragraph seems to come from copilot though.
Tbh I’m starting to fantasize about switching to a trade. Front line office work is for the birds.
