    True .... sometimes it gives funny answers

    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 <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;copilot.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;copilot.com</a> 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.

        Ok, so that’s good for Apple.<p>Microsoft is invested heavily in OpenAI?

        My local ice cream shop has never invested anything in AI. Do you think they&#x27;ll come out of this ahead?

          I&#x27;ve seen the &quot;success&quot; 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.<p>I can&#x27;t say whether this trend would continue, but the answer to your question today is &quot;yes&quot;.

          My local ice cream shop doesn&#x27;t even have a computer in the building. Well, unless you count the credit card terminal.

          Ice cream tends not to sell well in winter.

            New York City seems to be a counterexample - gelato and ice cream stores everywhere that seem to do decent trade year-round...

            Alas, no winter in my locality ever.
