Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella mentioned during an earnings call that he used Copilot to rapidly build an ROIC (Return on Invested Capital) intelligence app with a single prompt. The app integrates historical data, lookups, and what-if scenarios, all within a secure enterprise environment.
In response, prominent AI critic Gary Marcus quote-tweeted the news mockingly, stating that the CEO of a $3 trillion publicly traded company is now relying on hallucination-prone chatbots for "vibe-coding" financials in public communications, implying significant potential risks.
