When AI Chat History Bites
What do your AI chats say about you? Would you want someone else reading them and drawing their own conclusions? Maybe take a look at how long you keep them.

If I’m being honest, every time I hear someone say they don’t like Copilot because ChatGPT or Claude is just better, I have to wonder about that. The models available inside Copilot aren’t that different, but there is one big difference. Copilot has access to all your email, OneDrive documents, SharePoint files, etc.
That’s been a selling point for Microsoft, but it might also explain why the results differ. Your data might be making the results worse than when you use a different tool that isn’t connected to your Microsoft environment.
What is your AI using as its source of truth?
So I ask again: why are we listening to the people who have the most to gain by getting everyone to buy AI tools, instead of making our own decisions about how quickly we should move forward with AI? Governance exists to slow things down – forcing people to think before they run off and do something disastrous.
Should we design better governance to address rapidly changing technology? Absolutely. Should we let Big Tech determine how we redesign it? I don’t think so.
This feels like a small hand being raised in the corner of a deafening room, trying to point out the obvious. We’re only human. We need a break. That unsettled feeling you get every day at work might not be imposter syndrome or everyday stress, but the sheer exhaustion of knowing that you can never pause and focus on getting work done. The skills and knowledge you have now will be worthless tomorrow.
OpenAI isn’t calling the “feedback” advertising yet, because they haven’t started selling ads to businesses, but does anyone think that isn’t coming next?
From an end-user perspective, this is interesting and smart.
ChatGPT can now integrate with external services like Outlook, Teams, Gmail, and Google Drive to access real-time data for more relevant responses.
From the perspective of being responsible for securing AI use within a firm’s M365 environment, this is somewhat unsettling.
