A lot. Think of Bruce Banner as the Incredible Hulk, perhaps. \ Alternatively, as Jared Spataro, the president of [Microsoft 365](https://www.mindstick.com/news/3347/microsoft-releases-bing-chat-enterprise-and-microsoft-365-copilot-pricing-information), said during a press [conference](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11886/must-haves-conference-room-facilities-to-plan-a-corporate-event) today: "Copilot is a totally new way of working." \ That may perhaps be considered an understatement if this gadget performs as promised by Microsoft. \ The AI-powered secretary from the [tech](https://www.mindstick.com/services/technologies) giant, Copilot, wants to remind you of a meeting you're dreading, let you know about a new recruit, or even leak information about employees who were meant to be returning from holiday. \ Microsoft was sure to emphasise that the [technology](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13005/the-functional-aspects-of-laser-technology) is far from flawless, and Spataro added that when Copilot does make mistakes, they will be "usefully inaccurate." It may also provide you with a thought "that's not ideal but nonetheless offers you a good start," he added. \ Microsoft wants you to be aware that their cutting-edge AI helper may wind up misinforming you and ruining your workday. \ Consider this as the self-driving Tesla for the workplace: You may fall asleep at the wheel, and although it can bring you home, it might also result in an accident involving eight vehicles. You get to roll the dice! \ [**ALSO READ: Microsoft releases the AI office Copilot in a sprint against Google**](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2892/microsoft-releases-the-ai-office-copilot-in-a-sprint-against-google) \ While they work to perfect it, the new function will initially only be available to a select few people, but the business plans to "extend to more" testers shortly. \ In other words, Clippy's AI-powered mad cousin is going to cannonball into your office life and either save you from the most tedious, soul-crushing labour you do every day or ruin [your career](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85502/the-importance-of-a-full-stack-developer-certification-for-your-career-growth) as an anarchic agent of chaos masquerading as a useful [productivity tool](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/audio/1114/ai-as-a-productivity-tool).
