Openai announces new slop generator GPT-6 Astra: Unfortunately not any better than the last one

We have copilot at work and we are expected to use it. They recently updated the Copilot desktop app to include live voice chat, where you can have actual “conversations” with it. To be honest, that actually is kind of impressive. Unfortunately, that’s also about where the impressiveness stops. I burned up all of my daily voice chat limits, and I don’t even know how many tokens trying to get that stupid thing to walk me through making a relatively minor configuration change in Azure. It could not do it. It was consistently wrong about so many things.

You would think Microsoft would be embarrassed about selling a chatbot that can’t even tell you how to make basic configuration changes to their own products. Personally, I’m not strongly opposed to LLMs. But the value proposition that all these tech firms are currently selling is laughable at best.

The real benchmark should be if it can explain Microsoft licensing without self destructing.

You only get the capability in copilot to query the licensing if you have CoPilot E4 or an F3 with the monthly add on or attained a copilot ISV but then you have a limited entitlement linked to the base agreement and you need to purchase additional seats but they are of a different tier which need to be upgraded etc etc etc
