David D. LevineNot a joke: Microsoft's Copilot Terms of Use (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot/for-individuals/termsofuse) assert that "Copilot is for entertainment purposes only." And they are charging HOW MUCH for this "entertainment" product?
Koochulainn@daviddlevine Workplaces should block it as a distraction, seeing as it isn't intended for a work environment. 🤷🏻♂️
Marianne@Koochulainn @daviddlevine worth noting that is the personal-use version, not the business version (so still ugh but less relevant for workers perhaps...), whose ToS we haven't yet dived into AFAIK
Maybe someone can find them?

Hubert Figuière@daviddlevine so when do they move it to the Xbox division?
Zazzoo 🇨🇦@daviddlevine CoPilot and psychics, gotcha.
Justin M@zazzoo @daviddlevine lol. Liability cop out. They try to force us all to use it even in work but oops it's just for entertainment if something goes wrong.
@Jam123 @daviddlevine More than anybody else, I get the sense that Microsoft truly understands the depth of the hole they've dug for themselves.
@zazzoo @daviddlevine i get the feeling that their investors were asking where all the money was.
Noa
Becca@Jam123 imagine if people could sell cigarettes to small children, but only for entertainment, not smoking

UkeleleEric@daviddlevine and can someone at Microsoft explain why they are telling businesses that their employees need to use an entertainment product?
Jörg Seidel@UkeleleEric
i checked the commercial copilot license agreement. it does not appear to have this section. It's also very long and not searchable, so I'm not entirely sure.

@daviddlevine
Martin Vermeer FCD@daviddlevine GPL-ed products also make clear in the license text that no guarantees are given, fitness for purpose included. But at least they don't babble about entertainment...
Steven Sandoval@daviddlevine I'd love to see a @theonion article about how Microsoft Excel and Outlook are for entertainment purposes only.
Jordi@daviddlevine @cstross i wonder if the ‘pro’ terms of use contain equivalent language.
jimfl@daviddlevine Well, that is entertaining

I didn't have any hardware or software costs for many years. 😅

Clockwork ☃️✒️Isn't it hilarious that in public they boast about how incredible this tool is and how many things it can do, and in ToS they shrivel and whimper and go "please don't sue us it's your fault for using this shit stuff"
We don't need AI. AI needs us.@daviddlevine
And that could be said for all the "AI" software, since they were built more or less in the same way.

CosmicCactus@daviddlevine IIRC they also had a clause in their Windows licence saying maximum amount of damage caused by their software that they can be liable for is $5.00
