Our plant manager likes to use it to summarize meetings (Copilot). It in fact does not summarize to a bullet point list in any useful way. Breakes the notes into a headers for each topic then bullet points The header is a brief summary. The bullet points? The exact same summary but now broken by sentences as individual points. Truly stunning work. Even better with a "Please review the meeting transcript yourself as AI might not be 100% accurate" disclaimer.
Truely worthless.
That being said, I've a few vision systems using an "AI" to recognize product that doesn't meet the pre taught pattern. It's very good at this
I think your manager has a skill issue if his output is being badly formatted like that. I'd tell him to include a formatting guideline in his prompt. It won't solve his issues but I'll gain some favor. Just gotta make it clear I'm no damn prompt engineer. lol
I didn't think we should be using it at all, from a security standpoint. Let's run potentially business critical information through the plagiarism machine that Microsoft has unrestricted access to. So I'm not going to attempt to help make it's use better at all. Hopefully if it's trash enough, it'll blow over once no one reasonable uses it. Besides, the man's derided by production operators and non-kool aid drinking salaried folk He can keep it up. Lol
Okay, then self host an open model. Solves all of the problems you highlighted.
