(15,563 posts)I could ignore the "helpful completion" and type over it. The Auto-Edit overseer function came with an autocorrect function had to be turned on and so ignored except in its only real useful function as the always on spell or grammer check (the red zigzag under a word or usage not in the Office dictionary).
Unlike the old Auto-Edit Co-Pilot still tries to correct the many acronyms I normally type in a report or email to what it thought was supposed to be the word I needed to use on the Auto save cycle - even when I'm several sentences down.
Luckily, I can still go back and force the acronym or word I wanted to use, the equivalent of smacking Co-Pilot on the nose with a rolled up newspaper, and not have to keep revisiting it, but...
I'm just really nervous that MS is going to decide that it's okay for Co-Pilot can also scan and edit received emails and downloaded documents, affecting incoming information that I require to do my job effectively.
Just because the fat-Ego Barons of Tech believe that AI is better than a normal human being when collating inputs and coming to decisions.
