Consultants Christmas coming soon? Microsoft moves on ChatGPT?

Microsoft wants to invest in ChatGPT for $10 Billion! Could this be the come back of the century for BING search?!?

A search engine to finally disrupt Googles dominance. This is definitely a rare chance in internet history.

A photo to jog your memory:

But apart from having a search engine - what do consultants REALLY want? Let me tell you:

'Finally some AI help to sort through my excel sheets'

'There is a formula in one of these cells that's not working... let me ask the AI'

'AI in the sheets - a freak in t-...' no - I can't finish this one.

Combining AI with Office365 suite would be a dream come true - if done right.

Utilising AI to come up with snazzy non-drowsy slides, using image generators and design functions tailored for the audience... Imagine all your slides feeling like Avatar in 3D.

(This is a joke)

Or an imported CSV - with AI providing insights as its imported in - so you can start meaningful discussions as soon as possible. Or helping small businesses manage their books and make it comply with the laws of the country so that accounting can be made simple!

I do sometimes wonder how far Microsoft were already developing this capability... I'm sure GPT would be an add-on or an overlay to their existing abundance of data and parameters.

But before we get over excited - lets remember that a lot of services that Microsoft provide their consumers are either subscription or license based. However, as AI will become the norm in the future - I'm sure the prices and services will normalise with time.

Microsoft will undoubtedly make this technology available as a service for others to consume - with their own parameters and datasets. This should normalise the capability and with that the price!

Lets see how our lives change day-to-day with more advanced AI tuned into it.
