AI6YR BenThe bozos renamed Office 365 to "Microsoft 365 Copilot" and force fed the whole thing to all its users, and now they're touting widespread AI adoption. 😂 🤡
This is like Starbucks renaming the "Frappucino" to the "Frappuc-AI-no" and talking about their robust adoption of AI sales. 😂
Microsoft: The Microsoft 365 app transition to the Microsoft 365 Copilot app
"...The Microsoft 365 app is now called the Microsoft 365 Copilot app across web (office.com, microsoft365.com), mobile (iOS, Android), and Windows. The new app name and icon reflects the integration of Copilot within the Microsoft 365 app.
The Microsoft 365 Copilot app continues to serve as your everyday productivity app for work and life. But in the era of AI and integration of Copilot, it's become much more than that. ..."

This means we likely can longer turn it off. I already run a chron job to kill the ai executables.
Nazo@ai6yr Didn't they basically also pull a stunt where they essentially signed people up for it and started charging them extra, requiring them to "opt out" of paying a higher subscription fee? Or did I misunderstand something on that?
JillL@nazokiyoubinbou Yep, they basically had to trick all their users into it.
@jillL Not even a trick. Didn't they basically just change it so that the normal subscriptions included Copilot with an extra fee associated with it?
Obviously that's quite illegal and I think I recall there being a lawsuit over it or something.
A "trick" would be if they got people to click yes on something. As I recall, they just straight up said "by the way, we're charging you more now for that extra feature we just slipped in."
@nazokiyoubinbou You could opt out, but it was a whole process to do so. It was a pretty shitty way to treat your customers.
@jillL And I'm pretty sure that it's quite illegal.
You can't just suddenly change an existing agreement's entire terms and then charge for something. They can pull opt out on our privacy rights and get away with it, but they can't pull opt out on charging everyone (including businesses!) an extra fee... Like there are specific laws against that.
But Microsoft is really in a state of just ignore all laws and reality right now...
j-r conlinI mean, if they're not screaming "no", then clearly they're all in on the idea, right?
Beanbag Ashtray@ai6yr every time I see the words "touts" and "executive" in a headline I automatically brace myself for some weapons grade BS
@beanbagashtray @ai6yr Yep. Those words always mean "time to get out the masks and shovels."

Bryan Haskin@ai6yr that's how it works. And it's crazy no one calls these people on it.
