??? What are they?
- bad code, with non obvious bugs? I would prefer the original slashdot/GitHub/blog post. Google used to do that.
- chat bots? The customer service will still be shit. Your problem will still not be solved. But I guess some call center staff can be fired. Customers will be very happy to never be able to speak to a human.
- Writing mediocre overlong content for google to place ads in? Just what the internet needs. It’s already day time tv.
Any more?
Think every day office jobs and try to figure out where you can use it as a productivity multiplier. You can figure out Microsoft's next step from there.
Yes, it is a productivity multiplier. By a negative number. Microsoft's next step is to sell access to it, preferably inside overpriced Microsoft Azure. And continue to brainwash people in media by making them to think that it will solve a single problem better than people.
I'd be interested to know what productivity areas Microsoft identified before launching Teams.
“Quick, figure out how to make the corpse of Skype even worse!”
