Microsoft Takes Aim at ChatGPT

Copilot and ChatGPT Enterprise.

Microsoft would very much like Microsoft 365 tenants to use Copilot instead of ChatGPT. A recent comparison between Copilot and ChatGPT outlines some areas that Microsoft thinks are important when deciding which AI tool to use. Microsoft has a point because Copilot is embedded into Microsoft 365 whereas ChatGPT is more of an add-on. The competition for hearts and minds is very intense in the AI space.

ChatGPT Enterprise Connects to SharePoint Online

ChatGPT Enterprise SharePoint Connector

OpenAI has launched a ChatGPT enterprise SharePoint Connector that allows organizations to synchronize files from SharePoint Online to ChatGPT. I could never understand why Microsoft 365 tenants allowed users to upload individual files from SharePoint or OneDrive to ChatGPT for processing. Using a connector to synchronize entire sites to ChatGPT makes even less sense, especially from a compliance perspective. I must be missing something!
