I'm surprised it's taken this long, but I've just had to deal with my first slop rebuttal, where someone has made a confident statement based on output from Copilot, and it's failed to pass even the most cursory examination using data we already have. #enslopification

TIL about Enslopification. AI-driven enshittification basically:

> The shoving of dumb idiotic A.i into every aspect of existence, [...], all in order to legitimize massive over investments in A.i slop in return for profits at any cost to customers, societies and nations, while stealing masses of customers data via those same systems so as to enable further profit making by corporate profiling of consumers.

Ah google, you old devil, I think I now know why you are giving me email summaries despite me having already disabled gemini for my workspace

There's a new (relatively new??) item in the "Generative AI" menu in the admin console called "NotebookLM" (which is, of course, enabled by default) and this appears to make use of Gemini (despite the fact Gemini is disabled) to generate planet-warming insights that may be dangerously incorrect
