> Nadella has guided valuations and stock targets that are simply unobtainable without this growth
I read a couple of articles and he seems to have been completely suckered in by the damn thing

> Copilot consumes Nadella’s life outside the office as well. He likes podcasts, but instead of listening to them, he loads transcripts into the Copilot app on his iPhone so he can chat with the voice assistant about the content of an episode in the car on his commute to Redmond. At the office, he relies on Copilot to deliver summaries of messages he receives in Outlook and Teams and toggles among at least 10 custom agents from Copilot Studio. He views them as his AI chiefs of staff, delegating meeting prep, research and other tasks to the bots. “I’m an email typist,” Nadella jokes of his job, noting that Copilot is thankfully very good at triaging his messages.
this is no different to ending up in an alternate reality populated by your AI "girlfriends"
and will produce similar results
Sounds like a dogfooding sales pitch to me. Nadella has learned from embarrassing prior incidents where Windows Phone developers were found to be using the iPhones or Androids as their personal devices, or when pictures of Microsoft employee offices showed Macs littering the workspace.
But if real, indicates, that he does take it serious. Eat your own dogfood and all that.
I do not see it as AI girlfriend. I see it as pushing the limits of the technology for productivity.
" Copilot is thankfully very good at triaging his messages"
But .. I would never do that, without also having a human check what important bits don't get through.
At some point a mistake will be made that will be very embarrassing for someone that matters
People have "satired" similar hypotheticals about Sam Altman [0], and we know it's happened with people like Blake lemoine.
It makes me curious how much, if any, of the current LLM hype is simply coming from people who are dealing with the ELIZA effect.

How'd ELIZA do on the International Math Olympiad?
It's quite fortunate that the ELIZA effect isn't defined by IMO scores, isn't it?
