This is what I think of every time I see Microsoft Co-Pilot mentioned:
@trif #WithAltText
When someone mentions swastikar's autopilot:
@trif Doesn’t quite work for me. Compared to Microsoft Copilot, Otto is both funnier and more competent.
@trif Is that The Angriest Boy?
@hosford42 never realised the resemblance
@trif fun fact in Poland title of this movie was translated as „Is pilot flying with us?”
@trif
I think that's a bit advanced tbf. And probably safer too.

@trif the “Pilot” metaphor breaks because apparently there are now three roles…

• Pilot Flying
• Pilot Monitoring
• Pilot Hallucinating

…instead of two?

@trif nothing like it, this one was actually useful
@trif I mean look at the VSCode logo:
@trif @Sebastian And it is exactly that … 😁
@trif It looks like JD Vance
@trif The movie also describes what you have to do, that the LLM does what you want
@trif it's funny until you realize this guy lives in your neighborhood, and he drives a tesla.
@trif that's an insult to my boy Otto
@trif Complete with the depiction of the new primary work assignment of Mickeysoft's devs!
@trif Which immediately triggers memory of the scene that is following
@trif @Gargron No, it’s definitely this
@trif the "top up valve" is the perfect stock price point here
@trif the on switch is even in the same place!
@trif That's an unfair comparison. The co-pilot shown here was useful.

Yep... I see the same thing. Whole software package is a joke.

@trif

@trif I think of The Riddler (from Batman Forever). He has a machine that provides a novel form of entertainment, but which simultaneously redirects useful knowledge and thoughts to back to central HQ for nefarious purposes. To me, that's what these centralised AI systems are.
@trif At least Otto knew how to be quiet...
@trif Why does "Julia Hagerty" jump to mind when I see that pilot dummy? 🤣

@trif

I recently talked to someone who actually likes M$ copilot as "you can easily summarise meeting, check what I di.cessed last time with someone".

Seriously if I want the light bulb turned on, I just do that - same for this LLM or other tool. , I use them when I want to.

@trif this exact scene too!
