Slop.

Where I work just had a consultant present to the board, and the senior exec, in two different sessions, on how to integrate AI across the workplace. I saw the slides. It was literally 'here's how to prompt AI, and here's some freeware on creating your own agent'.

Now, we're likely to go on the hook for ~~$45~~ $30 AUD* per user per month for copilot m365 (not copilot free, that's entirely different, 365 is the 'enterprise' version which does the same thing while promising it won't use company data for training)

The threat is that 'if your workers don't use the copilot from your tenant, they will be putting company data into public LLMs, so you have to cough up. It's a direct threat, as Microsoft integrates the free version of copilot across all its apps. Insidious planet destroying criminal stuff which is a big stick being presented as this productivity-enhancing carrot

Edit: *(I had assumed it was USD and did a rough conversion into my currency, it's actually 30 AUD, ~22usd. It's still more than we can afford and infinitely more than it's worth)
