If AI is so great, these price rises will pay for themselves many times over.....
Have any HNer's experienced or observed any productivity increases, or even any utility increases from co pilot?
- bigbuppo 2mo agoWe've lost customers over the increased price.
- itchingsphynx 2mo agoProbably worse productivity because now I have to read paragraphs of emails that could have been sentences.
- jamesfinlayson 2mo agoHad a clueless business analyst get Copilot to write a bunch of stories for an epic, then when she had a meeting with me (and three other people!) to go through the stories I had to tell them that 90% of what they had done was wrong. If they'd come to me from the outset I could have told them the one story title and handful of acceptance criteria that was required but instead we wasted 5 person hours and whatever Copilot costs.
- netsharc 2mo agoWithout context it reads like you work in a publisher that publishes fiction...
- spacechild1 2mo agoI thought the same. Business lingo has really jumped the shark. "story" is already stupid enough, but "epic"? Seriously? :-D
- jamesfinlayson 2mo agoI assumed this was standard terminology for Jira? It's been the same for me at two completely different tech companies.
- spacechild1 2mo agoIt might be standard terminology but to outsiders like me it sounds like an over-the-top parody of corporate speak.

- hakfoo 2mo agoI always hoped we could make "cinematic universe" for really enormous refactorings.
- jamesfinlayson 2mo agoI thought there was a new level above epic - theme I think?
- jamesfinlayson 2mo agoI don't disagree - I worked on a task management system many years ago and task and subtask always made a lot more sense than story and task. And epic should just be project.
- happymellon 2mo agoIt's the brittle systems that try and force a peg in a hole regardless of size or shape. I've worked with customers who stories worked well because the concept is just to talk through use-cases. Others have been involved in building software previously and it's overkill. Current corpo job uses the phrase stories, but refuses to get involved with any planning or spec building so task and subtask would make more sense, but subtasks aren't visible on the board and we aren't allowed to update it. We also aren't allowed to move a task back, so every time someone accidentally moves the wrong task we have to cancel it and recreate it. Such a pain.
- bombcar 2mo agoCopilot actually can search outlook emails on Mac. This is the greatest achievement of any AI.
- fingerlocks 2mo agoSarcasm? The new Mac outlook also stores each email as a separate plain text tarball of HTML. It’s the greatest unintentional Microsoft feature ever because you can finally read all your email however you please
- bombcar 2mo agoSplotlight search might work, but until copilot, trying to search your own email in New Outlook wouldn't find emails literally right in front of your nose, on the screen.

- hulitu 2mo agoThey do increase RAM and processor usage.
- acdha 2mo agoIt’s pure gold for contractors trying to snow clients. The people who used to struggle to produce a good looking document can now quickly produce something without visible tells that they have no idea what they’re talking about, even though they still have no idea.
