Microsoft released copilot in Excel, and it is officially caught up with Google on the AI race.
Fantastic to watch.
Jason Levine@punkrockscience This Juluary birthday kid LOVES this.
Joe Greathead@punkrockscience @thomasfuchs Microsoft is ahead by not adding an “R” to May.

@punkrockscience To be fair, Junuary and Juluary are months we endure in the PNW.

ngoomie is moving!@punkrockscience "auguary" and "sepuary" sound like some sort of forms of magic you'd see in a fantasy novel or smth

@[email protected] @punkrockscience auguary is the system of magic founded by those original augurs. they drank the blood of the first mana tree and gained insight into the workings of the world, allowing them to manipulate magicules as they see fit. unfortunately, this came at the cost of their corporeal forms, which began rapidly decaying upon their imbibment of the blood. thus, this system of magic is widely known to be a "complete but lost" system, as only a limited amount of scholars are able to parse the writings left behind by the augurs.
sepuarians are trained from birth to see the world structure, and thus have a natural ability to cast spells. some rare sepuarians are kept as weapons by various kingdoms, for their ability to decipher and nullfy spells on sight in milliseconds. the sepuarians are an endangered tribe, as a holy war during 324: Rift Era saw their demise. for all their ability to wield magic, the tribe saw itself powerless against mechanical weapons of war.

@[email protected] @punkrockscience funnily enough, several rare texts contain instructions written by sepuarians on their method of child rearing and how to raise a sepuarian child. these texts are either destroyed, classified and protected, or are otherwise rendered unavailable to most commonfolk, as to raise a sepuarian is to bring to life a functional magical superweapon.
as much as historians would love to credit the near eradication of the sepuarians to mechanical weapons, it was as much a failure in the sepuarian tribe to secure their domain and plan for attacks. while excellent spellcasters, they were in the end human, and could not last against a prolonged war of attrition.

Fabiano Cerqueira 🖖@punkrockscience Microsoft doing what it does best. 😂
James Hawley, PhD@punkrockscience Does this mean more updated gene symbols are on their way?
Uli Kusterer (Not a kitteh)@punkrockscience That auto-completion bug has been around for years, totally unrelated to AI. Also, "Febuary" should be "February", which is why you get this silly result. Nonsense results in nonsense deductions.
lorddimwit is now @Lousy Maruary weather
David Taylor@punkrockscience this must Auguary well for the future.
Michael Gemar@punkrockscience So it used to be Excel thought everything was a date, but now it can’t get months right?
Seriously, how does something like this get past basic QA?
iXô 
@punkrockscience this existed wayyy earlier than AI in Excel. It’s the standard behavior of excel that try to mimic things to help you complete data. Here, for month this doesn’t works well, but when you have a formula on the first row, it will shift cells in the formula automatically. AI is not used for these screenshots.

Riedler@punkrockscience …ist das nicht das normale autocomplete das schon seit ewigkeiten drinnen ist?
Tobias Schulze@punkrockscience Autocorrection in spreadsheets is one of the worst implementations in office products. The worsted one was the former auto summary function in former Microsoft Word versions...
Petar@punkrockscience It generally seems that copilot is getting dumber. Simple old school type hinting based auticomplete is beating it in some projects that I work. It still doesn't understand a pretty generic typing system and suggests class and function calls with wrong arguments number and names.
lawrence@punkrockscience I wonder what the Maruary weather is like in Morth Carolina.
Parisninla@punkrockscience I want someone in a position to know to tell me that this was actually a joke.
Brian Hogg@punkrockscience no love for Smarch?
dana 
@punkrockscience I love Juluary 😂😂
elen@punkrockscience idk "maryuary" is a little outta left field for "may," a month with no r in it.
IDGAF Certified@punkrockscience Maryuary is messing with my head.
