Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

@k1 It isn’t lame if you have the full licenses where you can create your own agents.

If you only have the basic license in Teams and other Office apps it isn’t great.

I’ve had it automate a number of processes and generate helpful analysis on them which is great.

Your license will be surrendered to someone who will use it, like me. I finally got one because it was pulled from someone else.

You might also have to explain why it was pulled to your management chain.

Many have objectives tied to AI.

copilot = lame

@bm here. Not sure why this site duplicated the second bullet as another 1. But it should have been a 1. and a 2.

I honestly have been using it more often lately -- it's useful for some external summarization on things I work on but also to find out things internally. What I don't like about it is it'll use my emails as part of the answers when the emails are NOT part of the answer I'm looking for. Scary enough is that past few days it's shown me team chats with people where I wasn't even part of the chat.

1. Have it set a daily reminder for you.
   1. Upon reminding, open it, ask about the weather, and be done for the day.

Or go all in and have it build a dossier and tracking spreadsheet for the work adversaries you wish to pvp with.

If your license is yanked, dont expect your manager to label you a top performer. With the frenzy around adopting AI, it's going to come back to get you.

Use copilot as a training tool for various topics and maybe how to automate the spreadsheets and formulas you're using.

Awesome to know, I will use it for nonsense just so WF has to keep paying for it. I need a lot of help with my recipes.

Talk to the AI with a recorded audio loop and send your metrics through the roof.

Depends on the group. If you dont use it within 90 days in Risl, they revoke access.

Yes they are monitoring it because we are spending a truckload of money for these licenses.

Great question. Is this a go through the motions situation where they don't care at all what the prompts are and people just play with the thing to ensure they don't show up on a report? If so, classic WF.

I also laughed at "high demand". Other than Kool aid drinking low level execs, literally no one cares about copilot or thinks it's a good AI tool.

Pro-tip: When you need a break, talk to copilot about anything on Teams. This nails two birds with one stone. First, it pings that you're using copilot, so that metric is ticked. Second, it's a break without even leaving your desk.

You can ask it about something you want to learn that's semi-adjacent (artistic license here) to your job so that it falls under domain knowledge/personal growth. It's essentially a glorified search engine with collation capability, which means you don't actually have to navigate web pages to get relevant data out of it.

There's no reason to actively avoid it unless you're trying to get removed for only being a process performer (which is what management is trying to reduce).
