The anthropomorphization in this article is nauseating:
Yeah, no. Nice try. But it's not human. It's not even an animated teddy bear. There is no friendly presence there waiting to help. It doesn't feel jack shit. It doesn't jump. It's not there for you, or your meeting, or your boss, or your company.
It simply performs a constant ongoing analysis and issues a prediction of the next words based on the preceding words.
That, and it lets MS and its partners monetize every goddamn thing it can snatch from you, your meeting, your machine, and everything else it can digitally force access to.
To add to that, at least the average meeting I am in, people don't look much at the chat. The meeting organiser might, but that is also not happening too frequently.
