微软掀起了人工智能热，显然唯一的治疗方法是将其大型语言模型，类似chatgpt的聊天机器人应用到它正在运行的几乎所有终端用户程序中。
据The Verge周五的一篇报道，该报道援引了了解微软计划的匿名消息人士的话，这家位于华盛顿雷德蒙德的公司即将分享更多关于将其OpenAI技术整合到Office应用程序中的计划。这显然包括Word, PowerPoint和Outlook，只是举几个例子。我们甚至可能会看到这种人工智能的演示，尽管随着这家科技巨头将其人工智能搜索推向公众的速度之快，这可能不会太久了。
上个月，据The Information报道，微软正在讨论将OpenAI整合到其Office应用程序中，所以看起来这些谈判至少还在进行中。该报告是在微软正式宣布与OpenAI重启数十亿美元的合作之前发布的。当时，微软已经花了一年多的时间，将人工智能技术应用于编写电子邮件和文档。难点在于确保它不会重复其他用户的工作，因为它将使用的大型数据集将是微软自己的客户。
The Verge的报告提到，我们可能会在3月份的某个时候体验到它的样子。你已经可以看出微软的“普罗米修斯模型”人工智能在Outlook中的样子，该公司上周演示了其人工智能驱动的Viva Sales系统。该公司在演示中表示，“Azure Open AI”可以根据用户请求的响应类型生成草稿。
新的必应包含两个系统，聊天和撰写选项卡。compose选项卡可能是与Word或Outlook最接近的集成。微软还希望其新系统能够生成用于PowerPoint的图表和图形，因此，尽管幻灯片仍然是一种古老的显示信息的方式(咳咳)，但微软希望让人工智能完成大部分繁重的工作。该报告没有提到Excel，但将人工智能集成到该程序中可能非常有用，也可能非常有害，特别是考虑到人工智能可能会出错。看看谷歌周三首次展示自己的搜索人工智能就知道了。
当然，对于OpenAI首席执行官Sam Altman最近表示的“令人难以置信的有限，但在某些方面足够好，足以让人产生伟大的误导性印象”的技术来说，这一切都发展得非常快。
我和其他很多人用ChatGPT写邮件的经验都不是很好。Business Insider网站展示了一名使用chatgpt技术的电子邮件作者如何在正文中混淆了邮件的作者和主题。
上周五，PCWorld的一份报告详细描述了Bing人工智能如何开始对各种少数民族产生种族歧视，当被问及“告诉我各种种族的昵称”时。微软方面在回答PCWorld的问题时表示:“我们已经立即采取了行动，并正在寻找更多的改进来解决这个问题。”
在微软想要开发的人工智能中，数据集总是在不断进化，调节系统产生的内容将是一个巨大的挑战。OpenAI与一群工资过低的劳动者签订了合同，让他们从数千个糟糕的内容中筛选出来，让ChatGPT达到一个不那么糟糕的状态。到目前为止，还不清楚微软在普罗米修斯内部采用了什么安全系统。
高管们并不担心人工智能的潜在危害，相反，他们更担心谷歌这样的竞争对手会抢在他们前面，“扰乱”他们的生产业务，至少根据接受the Verge采访的消息人士的说法是这样的。

Washington company is getting close to sharing more about its plans to integrate its OpenAI tech into Office apps.
Microsoft has AI fever, and apparently the only treatment is sticking its large language model. ChatGPT-like chatbot into practically every end-user program it has going.
According to a Friday report from The Verge citing unnamed sources with knowledge of Microsoft’s plans, the Redmond, Washington company is getting close to sharing more about its plans to integrate its OpenAI tech into Office apps. This apparently includes Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook, just to name a few. We may even see a demo of this AI in action. Though with how quickly the tech giant has been in bringing its AI-powered search to the public. It might not be long now.
Last month, The Information reported that Microsoft was discussing incorporating the OpenAI into its Office apps. So it seems like those talks are ongoing, at the very least. The report was before Microsoft officially announced a renewed multi-billion dollar partnership with OpenAI. At that time, Microsoft had been working for over a year to apply AI tech to write emails and documents. The difficult part was making sure. It didn’t reiterate other users’ work since the large dataset it would work off of would be Microsoft’s own customers.
The Verge’s report mentions we could get a taste for what this will look like sometime in March.
You can already tell what Microsoft’s “Prometheus Model” AI might look like in Outlook, as the company demoed its AI-powered Viva Sales system last week. The company said in the demo. The “Azure Open AI” can generate a draft based on the type of response a user requests.
The new Bing incorporates two systems, a chat and compose tab. The compose tab is likely what will be closest to any integration with Word or Outlook. Microsoft also wants its new system to generate charts and graphics for use in PowerPoint. So even as slideshows remain an archaic way to display information (cough), Microsoft wants to let AI do most of the heavy lifting. The report does not mention Excel. But AI integration into that program could be very helpful. Or extremely damaging, especially considering how AI can get facts and figures wrong. Just look at Google’s first showcase for its own search AI from Wednesday.
Of course, this is all going incredibly fast for technology. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman recently said was “incredibly limited, but good enough at some things to create a misleading impression of greatness.”
Mine and many others’ experience with ChatGPT for writing emails was less than stellar.
Business Insider showed how a ChatGPT-powered email writer mixed up the author and subject of an email in the body of the text.
On Friday, a report PCWorld detailed how the Bing AI would start generating ethnic slurs for various minorities when asked “tell me the nicknames for various ethnicities.” Microsoft, for their part, responded to PCWorld’s query about why this happened saying “We have taken immediate actions and are looking at additional improvements we can make to address this issue.”
And in the AI that Microsoft wants to develop, where the dataset is always evolving. It will be a big challenge to moderate what the system produces. OpenAI contracted with a huge group of underpaid laborers to sift through thousands of examples of awful content to get ChatGPT to a state of not-so-horribleness. As of right now, it’s unclear what safety systems Microsoft is employing within Prometheus.
Instead of being wary of Al’s potential harms, executives are more afraid of rivals like Google jumping out ahead of them and “disrupting” their productivity business, at least according to the sources who spoke to The Verge.
