AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Fuck you Microsoft and other Big Tech assholes AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I came here to mock, but I see you have that covered.
There’s plenty of room left to cover
Put your mouths on my genitals, Microsoft.
…and yet it’s still all over the place and not going away. I thought the “market” was supposed to decide whether these things stay around or die on the vine.

Oh good. Just what everyone needs. I’ll stick with my Debian/Ubuntu boxes, thanks.
Microsoft did the dodgy auto opt-in/up-lift on renewals for non corporate M365 subscriptions to add copilot unless you explicitly went into your account and chose to stay on the non copilot version of M365.
There’s adoption, but not to the expected level. Basically, a lot of people use it at least sporadically, but few wants to pay. And meanwhile companies need to buy billions on data centers.
But… they made it a button on the keyboard? Microsoft sucks. They literally made an advertisement on the keyboard and their product still can’t take off. Install Linux.
That button isn’t for m365 copilot, but windows copilot which is an entirely different thing and yes that confusion hasn’t helped Microsoft here. Also see GitHub copilot.
Good thing they are all first-party software so they all integrate nicely together. Get an email that M365 Copilot read and creates a task that GitHub Copilot can implement! Right?
Mate, I’ve had outlook begging me to use copilot and the second I do it just tells me it can’t read my inbox or my calendar. What is even the fucking point.
Damn if that isn’t the most “Microsoft” interaction I’ve ever seen
Lol, That’s even worse. Just truly awful branding.
But I heard github copilot is actually substantially useful and successful. Idk the other two
I have become convinced that Microsoft is a company with no actual direction going off of pure momentum from early wins. It’s actually crazy how bad this shit is.
there is somethings AI is doing right, exposing ineptness of the companies that hyped it up.
shareholders: clearly the solution is more mass layoffs
Now in 1080p
Shocking.
It’s almost like the utility of language learning models isn’t in being shoehorned into fuckjng everything.
Go figure.

I love it for transcribing meetings and taking notes
I like meeting transcripts, I don’t think I’d trust AI notes
It’s very capable. Of course you go and check them after the meeting but I find them much more comprehensive than general human notes
it’s worse than that, I am in the 1.8% against my will because my boss thinks Copilot is helpful and got us licenses against everyone’s objections
Even if AI was good, this still wouldn’t be
Wow, that is abysmal.
But Microsoft has staying power and deep pockets. This is only the beginning for them.
Nice! Good news before going to sleep!
I’m sure they made lots of money selling your personal information to the highest bidding data broker.
Every time I’ve been desperate enough to use AI (ChatGPT, Gemini) for a semi-difficult question, it has failed me miserably.
It’s hallucinated libraries.
It’s hallucinated commands.
I tried to have it write me a complex formula to evaluate a date value. I noticed one of the conditions I needed to be covered was not, and brought up a date that would evaluate incorrectly. It basically “explained” step by step that the formula worked for my example date but used a different year for the one step where the flaw was. Like it gaslighting me.
Just last week I searched Google about a product owned by Google, Gemini interjected and gave me a detailed list of the product’s features, including the feature I was searching for so it caught my eye. The reference link was to a forum post where someone asked if it had that feature and then someone responded that it did not have that feature.
It’s just… not reliable.
