• The novelty factor

    Spotted this post the other day….  “In our recent analysis of Copilot for Microsoft 365, we observed a notable trend: a 64% decrease in user interactions with Copilot over a 9 week period. This decline suggests a concerning “Novelty Effect,” where initial enthusiasm for new technology gradually wanes. Initially, users exhibited a robust engagement with Copilot for Microsoft 365, leveraging its features extensively. However, this engagement significantly diminished over time, a phenomenon evident in 10 out of the 14 test users.”

    In my current tests, we find that more targeted programs like Grammarly.com does a much better job of what we expected AI to do.  We typically don’t want AI to write a letter (it honestly does not do a good job at all and makes way too many assumptions regarding the content) rather ideally, you’d want a secure AI to make your letter better.

    So have you tried AI in all of the places on the web that it’s showing up?  Are you impressed or having waning interest over it?
