In the same way that PowerShell has helped streamline processes and make work more enjoyable, generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT can do the same for a variety of mundane things that come with having a job. Whether it's helping to resolve conflicts, writing Disaster Recovery docs, creating cover letters for resumes or looking through logs to pinpoint the deeply-hidden issue, generative AI can do pretty much anything except write this abstract, apparently. Join me for a hands-on session where I'll compare services like ChatGPT, Gemini, M365 Chat/Copilot and GitHub Copilot Chat. I'll also show you how to get the best results (hint: it's not Prompt Engineering) and demo some of my favorite things I've used ChatGPT for ever since I upgraded to v4. I'll also address some of the privacy concerns and how to mitigate them.
