All Microsoft services are for entertainment purposes only, as in you’d have to be absolutely crazy enough to use before a Microsoft sales rep has taken your execs to a steakhouse and strip club.
Go to https://copilot.com and ask a question. You can see from the answer that it is clearly for entertainment only. Three years ago Microsoft was considered a leader for having the foresight to invest in OpenAI. Today they are a laggard.
On the contrary, the first companies to acknowledge the new AI Winter will have a big competitive advantage over those still dumping money into the bottomless pit.
Genuinely curious, what could an LLM even do for an ice cream shop? Checkout already takes less time than scooping a cone, and it's even quicker with cash. Maybe it could surveil the customers and employees? But I think that will lose you more customers than it gains.
Generally I would expect the ROI to be negative, like we've seen with most corporate AI projects, so yeah any ice cream shop that didn't invest in "AI" is going to come out ahead of one that poured money into the pit.
I've seen the "success" a non-software company has been having, trying to integrate AI into their processes. A hypothetical competitor who chose not to do so would absolutely be coming out ahead right now.
I can't say whether this trend would continue, but the answer to your question today is "yes".
I think every sequencing technology I know that is used as a diagnosing help has the disclaimer: "For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures". The sales reps go from hospital to hospital selling their sequencers, and point the disclaimer with a smirk. They are covering their asses.
Which is why they're all getting named Copilot now.

Microsoft is invested heavily in OpenAI?
