It’s comical that Microsoft inserted Copilot buttons throughout all of their productivity suite, and none of them are able to do the bare minimum that you would hope for.

“Oh cool, copilot is in excel! I’m going to ask it a question about the data in the spreadsheet that it’s literally appearing beside natively in-app, or for help with a formula!”

“Wait what, it’s saying it can’t see anything or read from the currently displayed worksheet? Why is it inside the application then? Why would I want an outdated version of ChatGPT with no useful context or ability to read/do anything inside all my Office applications?”

Meta's AI can't search posts on Meta's properties (or at least couldn't a few months ago). I'm not really sure what it's point is unless it's meant as a kind of help desk for the site (which they already also have).

I was looking at Dell's website earlier trying to find out what hardware is inside a specific model (the list of hardware doesn't say, just a bunch of post numbers with cryptic descriptions), and there's a video at the bottom of the page on how to use their AI assistant. I didn't see any links to an assistant.
