      He’s probably only complaining because it’s affecting him personally. If it was only destroying everyone else’s lives he would be happy to be an executioner. After all, he’s just following orders.

      Remember, though: Microsoft invented the slop factory when they created Microsoft Office.

      Sending useless documents back and forth via Outlook predates AI by decades.

      I thought they admitted defeat, embracing the uselessness and futility of nearly all office work when they released SharePoint, but I guess they’re still just getting started 🤷

    Now just imagine putting that shit into the code for your flagship operating system without any kind of human oversight.

      The problem is that they see people hating the torment nexus and then they assume it must be because they didn’t market it correctly.

      Like "oh I guess they don’t like it because they can’t share it, let’s add a suffering multiplexer so they can enjoy it with friends and family*

    “Let’s go another way where AI helps us to do things, to learn things, to create things, but in ways that we enhance and advance with our distinct perspectives and unique experiences!”

    AI can’t do that. And, even if it could be made to look like it is, no one you’re paying is going to bother.

    Fucking idiots.

    "I can’t be an idiot, look at all the money I have. "

    Stupid is as stupid does. Idiot.

      I mean, it’s somewhat possible, depending on context. However even if it helps someone with vision realize their goals 10 percent faster, it helps the person with zero vision pump out slop 100x faster than someone with good content to make.

      Yeah, they’re kind of slow. They’re throwing money at this, and they’re just realizing it?!?!?! Typical. The only ones with common sense is the common man.

    I’d give him the benefit of the doubt, because surely not everyone at microslop wants copilot everywhere, but he heads the department that put copilot into excel, so all my sympathies evaporated.

    They don’t like when people use the AI trash they baked in their apps? Maybe they should get rid of it 🤔

    I got into this business inspired by the innovations Microsoft was exploring a decade ago. Microsoft led cloud convenience and digital platform synergy

      Tell her to practice her cursive. Young people and machines can’t read it. That’ll come in handy in the coming forever everywhere war for humanity

        Talking from experience, if you write cursively whilst having bad enough handwriting, it can become a reasonably effective form of encryption in general.

    One of the hilarious consequences of Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other content-theft platforms is that they’re trained entirely stolen human-made content. AI data sets post 2023 are doomed to rely on cannibalizing AI-generated content, creating an incestuous data “doom loop” Roslansky spoke of here

    Haha, I didn’t know about “doom loops.” Ah, that’s why they burning land, water, etc., more assets for the Balance Sheet. If AI flops, they’ll just flip to cryptocurrency and leave us out of the markets entirely.
