Sad, with the emergence of GPT they should've find a way to combine it with GPT to actually have a smart assistant.
Depends what you mean by "smart assistant". Spew a bunch of trivia on a random subject? Sure. Understand your speech commands better? Maybe. Actually manage your stuff (meetings, reminders)? Nope.
ChatGPT is good at making up pieces of text that come very very close to what you wanted (more so in the spirit rather than the letter of it), but it's not very good at anything else.
Ms already pushing copilot in office and windows. I think, using an old branding with questionable reputation (Cortana) would be a bad move for them.
They simply start from scratch using all "new MS" branding and wording.
isn't the article about Cortana being replaced by a gpt powered one?
Hahaha no. No one wants that. But it's coming I'm sure
There are a lot of people who would be excited for something like this.
It's just that, people who focus more on privacy tend to avoid such products, and even whole companies like microshaft.
