A colleague emailed me today asking whether I could send him a copy of some text he had contributed to a grant proposal that hadn’t gotten funded. It seems that he had been using Outlook to search for it, with no success.
Eventually he emailed me that he’d managed to find it himself, and he added “Outlook needs a much better search function.”
I replied, tongue in cheek, that maybe we can write a grant proposal to improve Outlook‘s search function.
He then suggested that we can just say we are using AI, and we will raise $36M sight unseen.
Sadly, he might very well be right.
