In his weekly columns on Pcactive.nl, John Vanderaart often writes about where he is and what he experiences. The one time it is France, then it is the US of England (previous column) and this time it is about his presentation for HCC members in Haarlem in his characteristic way.
Light (…) encouraged by your editor-in-chief Rob Coenraads I was sent to the Laan van Berlin (= hunted), to brighten the afternoon in HCC! Kennemerland with some AI wisdoms. The sun was on it, it was almost windless and it became a wonderful ride on the bike. I didn’t expect anyone with these weather conditions. After all, who is going to look computer while he or she can also enjoy the waterfront or on a nice terrace? I can tell you, “This worth had himself misunderstanding.” Because to be honest: a strong turnout with even a fan from the head of Noord-Holland! My story concerned Copilot from Microsoft or the AI ​​help that, among others, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook crept in. Provided you naturally have the right Microsoft 365 subscription, because for nothing only the sun goes up … I had already been working with Copilot before and was not impressed. In the meantime I have adjusted that opinion, because I was challenged by the HCC people present. And Copilot certainly did not disappoint us. An angry but personal letter – with details – to the landlord. A complicated and correctly completed table. Even some very specific illustrations, also converted into cartoon. Ultimately also a – rightly – critical note: “How safe are our data and what about AVG?” We immediately arrested that against Copilot and for now it looks safe. For example, the entered data is really only held in the current session and with no possibility you will find out your neighbor’s citizen service number. Instructions to kill the same neighbor (name something that is not allowed) are not answered by Copilot. Afterwards it was nice to have been in the sun with the enthusiast from the Kop van Noord-Holland. And actually I didn’t feel like leaving at all, but I don’t tell anyone …
Nice afternoon Copilot at HCC! Kennemerland. And also such a nice weather …
