Whether you Like it or not ChatGPT is coming to word and email.
Microsoft is apparently in talks to add OpenAI’s AI writer ChatGPT to Microsoft Office 365. In an effort to modernize the office productivity suite. The Information has obtained this news from two Microsoft team members. It was previously revealed that the Microsoft 365 Office parent company is trying to include ChatGPT in its search engine for web browsers.
So what is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a conversational bot that responds to human inquiries. It explores enormous databases and writes well-formed articles, and legal briefs. It also includes Shakespearean poetry, computer code, and Rogers and Hammerstein music, to name a few.
Microsoft plans to introduce ChatGPT’s text-generation capabilities to “Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, and other apps. However, it follows a failed attempt to integrate AI tools into Office Microsoft 365 that employ machine-learned language models to produce emails and documents.
ChatGPT and Microsoft
According to some sources Microsoft intends to employ ChatGPT to deliver more meaningful search results. When Outlook email clients hunt for information in their inboxes they should get more appropriate search results.
For instance, GPT can figure out what emails a client is looking for. Even if they don’t write the specific keywords that are in the relevant emails.
Moving ahead, Microsoft also wants to integrate ChatGPT to help users create better e-mail responses. They can also edit papers for clarity, and generate full documents based on prompts, similar to how ChatGPT now works.
ChatGPT’s sudden surge in popularity has produced a fear culture. As the world speculates on what it could be capable of, despite scant proof that it is anywhere near ready.
Google Workspace‘s parent company officials are concerned about its inaccuracy. Educators are afraid that it would break an already broken system. Even the CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman believes ChatGPT is unstable (opens in new tab) and is only a proof-of-concept at this point.
To sum up!
It’s very plausible that Microsoft has large ambitions for ChatGPT and other products powered by OpenAI’s GPT language model. However, there’s no telling when they’ll become a reality.
There’s a reason ChatGPT is now labeled as a “free research preview,” with disclaimers. It claims that it may occasionally provide inaccurate information, damaging instruction, or biased material. It hasn’t arrived yet.
And until it is, instead of chasing the tails of insiders and how companies may or may not end up leveraging this technology, perhaps we would all benefit from it.
