Microsoft AI chief: 18 months for all white-collar work to be automated

Again: "Corporate exec who will benefit financially if everyone uses AI wants everyone to use AI."

Microsoft is in trouble if their huge investment in AI doesn't pay off, so any of their execs are going to be parroting the corporate line, regardless of whether they really believe it.

18 months?! Weren't all the Basilisk-worshippers predicting 2027? Lazy Microsoft, get on with it already.

It will happen exactly two months after Tesla FSD is ready.

Ok, but how many months until O365 Copilot is good?

Who, as we all know, is really good at predictions.
