| Word, and PowerPoint files more quickly.

| As far as I know, this is the first integration of other cloud
| products in ChatGPT that's done as a 1st party integration (vs.
| "GPTs", which are all 3rd party)?

| True! I had "things that store my data in the cloud" in mind.

| What alternatives exist to the analysis feature of chatgpt?

| https://julius.ai is great

| https://patterns.app/, but is more for databases

| Looks like it will be nice when they work some of the kinks out.

| a link or route to properly report the reproduction steps as a
| bug but didn't find anything and gave up.

| I will ask again: The corporate data in the cloud? Sells,

| Privacy? Security?
| jonas21 wrote:
| Huh? Almost everyone stores this data in the cloud and has for
| like the last 20 years.
| nbzso wrote:
| So I am the only one stupid enough to have a private cloud?
| And the biggest and most successful corporations have trusted
| their intellectual property to Microsoft and Google? Boy, I
| am living under the rock. It is time to break all the walls.
| Right?

| if it's not hard for you why change?
|
| if it is, maybe time to reconsider.

| Privacy has always been dead. Idk why people love it's corpse

| Microsoft already has everyone's corporate data. Always has.

| I'm not even a fan of them, dislike the hypocrisy behind the
| name, and still, ChatGPT has replaced Google for 90% of my
| queries. It's starting to feel like a burden to have to open
| Google when ChatGPT doesn't give me what I want for some reason.
| As soon as they're able to "ground" results, 99% of my queries
| will go there.
|
| Anyone that doesn't understand this is just coping hard with this
| new reality.

| That they are delivering useful capability is orthagonal to

| advantage, no doubt, but there's very little stopping others
| from catching up.
| iamsanteri wrote:
| Isn't this literally what all sorts of analysts do as their core
| jobs? Are they getting automated away?
| andy99 wrote:
| No. People that boil a job down to a simple cognitive task
| rarely understand what the actual work of the job is.
| autokad wrote:
| you don't need this though, you can just ask chat gpt to give you
| python code for running general data analysis
| VWWHFSfQ wrote:
| sure, but I'm super lazy. I just want the chart or table or
| whatever so I can paste it in an email and then go home.
| 7thpower wrote:
| Not everyone knows how to python or wants to deal with the
