qazMicrosoft says Copilot is for entertainment purposes only, not serious use — firm pushing AI hard to consumers and businesses tells users not to rely on it for important advice
A salesman for an AI consulting company made the comment that we don’t expect perfection from humans, so why should we expect it from AI? He was smug about it, too, like it was his big gotcha. Joke’s on him, I’m the one that talked the bosses out of spending money with them.

If we can’t expect better from an AI than from a human, why should we use the AI (other than so you don’t have to pay workers)?
I think there’s an important semantic difference between worse performance and correctness. Tools, like AI, can underperform when compared to humans and still be very useful and worth investing into, but that’s only as long as they perform correctly.

Yeah, the ‘but’ is the entire problem. In my experience, LLM chatbots are like if you made a 12yo a junior admin and fed them speed. Very quick to give you a confident answer, but wrong more often than not. The worst part is a lot of what I’m doing is coding, and it gets basic commands and syntax wrong
