    That is all they are good for.

    Wife is a lawyer. She needs to do complex keyword searches on massive volumes of legal documentation. She absolutely loves how quickly and easily Copilot parses and tabulates info based on her queries.

    Total game changer for the kind of work she’s doing.

    I work in IT. Love to cobble together scripts in languages I’m otherwise unfamiliar using Claude. It’s also excellent at diagnosing system errors and providing effective remediation.

      There are better AI options that could be developed for that over a massive all in one inefficient LLM like Copilot. If the same amount of money was thrown at dedicated development AI and searches it would require far less energy, pollution, hardware, and could be run locally in many cases with the same or better results.

        You can take that up with management. I don’t get to pick what AI agent my boss decided to pay for.

        You have, and let me be clear on this, absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
