Ich hab neulich was mit #PowerApps und #PowerAutomate gemacht. Mit diesen neueren Plattformen ist es ja nicht so wie mit bspw. VBA, dass man mit der ersten Suche sofort einen Beitrag auf Stack Overflow findet, wie man was macht. Also kommt Microsoft #CoPilot fast zwangsläufig zum Einsatz -- und Mensch, wie sehr das hilft!! Co-Pilot hilft auch bei sinnloser Affenarbeit, zum Beispiel wenn man Daten aus einer Datei in einer anderen Datei zusammenfassen oder anders darstellen muss. Aber... #KI. Ist. Keine. #Suchmaschine!
