The 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. πŸ˜‚ 🀑

This is like Starbucks renaming the "Frappucino" to the "Frappuc-AI-no" and talking about their robust adoption of AI sales. πŸ˜‚

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. ..."

@ai6yr @Viss
oh well that makes it all clear.

This means we likely can longer turn it off. I already run a chron job to kill the ai executables.

@ai6yr fucking techbros will let apps transition
@ai6yr I suspect no one at Microsoft knows how to renew a domain, so they just buy a new one every year and rename the whole stack.

@thechris @ai6yr

sounds perfect for things like spreadsheets and other applications where mathmatical precision is important. :)

@thechris @ai6yr meanwhile Sales & Marketing is pushing the "All AI, All the Time," business model on everyone they can find.

@thechris @ai6yr that awkward moment when you fact-check a social media post and your jaw hits the fucking floor because the outrageous thing is true.

Holy shit, if Microsoft can’t even stand with a straight face and say that AI tools are fit for purpose, what justification could anybody have for allowing it to be used in important situations?

@manchicken @ai6yr I know that feeling, that's why I triple-checked and included the original link...

I have no idea how you can fit that into your brain. "Our product is great, push it everywhere! Except maybe not THAT great, better put a disclaimer in not to use it for serious stuff."

@thechris @ai6yr "Side effects may include..."
@thechris @ai6yr I am amused that this disclaimer often appears somewhere else where misuse can be dangerous: sex toys.
@thechris @ai6yr Just saw a TV commercial that showed copilot analyzing a business's finances in support of a marketing campaign. The tagline was something like, "You handle the business, let copilot handle the spreadsheets." Doesn't sound at all like a product designed for entertainment.

@b23e @thechris @ai6yr

Under no circumstances should you let that slop do your financials.

@b23e @thechris @ai6yr

hey come on now, those spreadsheets will be *hilarious*

@b23e @thechris @ai6yr

well, maybe a really horrible reality show...

@b23e @thechris @ai6yr tragedies are also entertainment
@ai6yr let's not forget that even within m365 the copilot thing has multiple licensing and prices within.
@ai6yr don’t forget that their login flow, for Minecraft and probably a whole load of other owned services, runs through sso.copilot.microsoft.com β€” making it an awkward process to play Minecraft with your kiddo when the network black holes *.copilot.microsoft.com because we block LLM slop domains in this house.
