"Everyone is talking about Retrieval Augmented Generation, but most companies don't actually have any internal documentation worth retrieving. Fix. Your. Shit."

I read up about Copilot as part of some internal research, and absolutely the first things to do for Copilot (I'll copy-paste just the line-item headings from the section entitled "Prepare your data for Copilot for M365 searches") is:

  - Clean out redundant, outdated, and trivial (ROT) content.   
  - Organize content into logical folders and sites.
  - Tag files with keywords.
  - Standardize file names.
  - Consolidate multiple versions.
  - Promote data hygiene habits.
Sigh. If I could do all this at an organizational level, I wouldn't need copilot at all.
