    GEE WHIZ WHO WOULDN’T WANT THAT

    The promise of Copilot is this fanciful idea of automating every job that involves a computer.

    So employers love this, because it is supposed to usher in a drastically smaller office fully of middle management prompt engineers who can simulate a new worker with a few button clicks.

    That’s the dream. That’s who it is for in theory. In practice, the technology doesn’t work.

      In theory there is little difference between practice and theory. In practice there is.

      In my industry it’s an incremental improvement.

      Potentially the current tech could make firms 10% more productive if fully realised. That’s my estimate anyway.

      It’s not a game changer.
