AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around opinions on a new interface that resembles the brushed metal aesthetic of OSX. Users express mixed feelings about this design choice, noting that while there are similarities, the overall style remains distinct. The conversation also touches on the functionality of Open Office compared to MS Office, with one user sharing a negative experience where a contract created in Open Office appeared poorly formatted when opened in MS Word. This led to a recommendation to export documents as PDFs to avoid compatibility issues. The consensus suggests that if consumers prefer visually appealing interfaces, Microsoft should adapt to these preferences.

I've never used a mac before. Poor me :frown: But I find that Open Office is far superior than MS Office.

That's why you export it to pdf. Even opening doc files in different versions of MS Office gets messed up.

There are similiarities, but the style is still different. If the market wants pretty interfaces then MS would be foolish not to adapt.

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
