Going to spin this up on some extra resources at work and see if I can get people off our ancient Acrobat 9 software. Thanks for your hard work.

My boss was curious about it, so she asked me to show her how to use it. She wanted to have it summarize some data from a spreadsheet. It hallucinated with the very first prompt, and she lost all interest in it (win). Later, I disabled everything copilot I can in our tenant and implemented policies to hide/remove it from our PCs. I’ve only had one employee (one of our fire captains) complain about it so far, but I don’t feel bad as his boss was complaining about the AI slop he was turning in on fire reports.

I don’t really see ChatGPT or others popping up in our network traffic either, though I don’t know how/if they are using it on personal phones.

My situation might be different than the average fedi user though… not a very technical group other than me (one guy IT department).

Even that needs a disclaimer. I was ordering some SFF PCs for my org last week and was kind of shocked how much the Lenovo and Dell PCs in that form factor were… out of curiosity I specc’d a Mac Mini with the same RAM and storage and they came in a little cheaper with a better processor. Only caveat is the lack of USB A ports, but dongles are super cheap anyway. If my users wouldn’t need training to use them I would definitely have considered (maybe even preferred from a device management perspective) the Mac Mini.
