story of AI batshit crazy Microslop in two pictures 🤣 they missed browser and mobile devices and now they started force feeding AI slop to everyone thinking that it will be chance of lifetime but guess what? it backfired. i am surprised it is only down 31%. they should go out of business for all these shity and intrusive practices.

@nixCraft
The problem is, the uninformed love it. The amount of meeting notes and emails that have been "I asked copilot to..." is scary. I'm the weird and paranoid one for refusing to use it at work, but at least I'm keeping my skills alive.

What will happen to those people when the bubble bursts, MS inevitably removes copyLot and they have to think for themselves again?

@DodoTheDev @nixCraft

What makes you assumed that they were thinking in the first place ?

I have a lot of coworker that are very good at negotiation, or rewriting or following process, but they cannot think outside their little box.

I cant count the number of time where i got "this value here is wrong, it must be a multiple of that value" and they cannot explain to me what those values mean neither to explain how i'm supposed to compute them.

Of course they are right. But do they think ?

@Aedius @nixCraft
Because these people are otherwise very intelligent. They just don't know (or care) about the details and - more importantly - don't have the time to summarise a 1 hour meeting into notes.

That's how Microslop (and all the other AI bollocks) get you: convenience. Its easier to throw a meeting transcript into CopyLot and get a well written plausible looking summary. But we've already had it hallucinate a task no one asked for. But they don't see how sinister it is, they laugh

@Aedius @nixCraft
Its the same thing with cookies. It's easier to accept all and look at what you wanted (whilst giving away all your data).

I questioned my friend over it "well, they've already got my data, so what's the harm?" A LOT! "But all my friends and family are there" well maybe they shouldn't be?

Ease, convenience and too difficult to _not_ do it means people will continue giving away freedoms till its too late.
