Microsoft about to boost office with Prometheus

Hopefully it does better than the movie

Microsoft is drawing up plans to release its Prometheus model into even more of its Microsoft 365’s office software products.

For those who came in late, Prometheus was either a god who bought fire to humanity and hacked off the other gods, a terrible Aliens origins movie, or a new version of Office 345 which features OpenAI’s GPT large language model.

A leak inside the Volehill claims that Prometheus could be making its way into the likes of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook within the next few weeks.

This follows the company’s recent announcement of the reimagined Bing search engine, which some claim was released earlier than planning in order to put the fear of Zeus into Google's search monopoly. 

For example, putting AI into Microsoft Outlook could help make search more usable rather than the chocolate teapot that it is now.  Word users could get writing assistance, which is a little better than just spelling and grammar. This could force outfit's like Grammarly to speed up their development. Grammarly is a good, if expensive product but has so far not provided style sheets to users (and its rounded quote mark function and split sentence function is really annoying).

Vole is expected to come up with proprietary tech designed specifically for Excel to create better formulas.
