that's how i've always done it, Microsoft
@SecureOwl what about Word(work or school)
@SecureOwl smh it's a Word document not a Words document. 😤

@SecureOwl Well...unless and until you use an "agent". Then it's quite literally NOT using just your words.

What a trip.

@SecureOwl @TheZeldaZone I mean, when I’m quoting someone I suppose I’m using their words, but yeah i mean generally…
@SecureOwl please tell me it's a customer support agent or even a FBI agent... please tell me it's a customer support agent or even a FBI agent... *oh... nooooo*
@SecureOwl corporate minimalism Is the worst thing ever
@SecureOwl how Microsoft expects their target audience:
@SecureOwl I'll take your word for it.

@SecureOwl

well, they say "use your words, not your fists"

but i've taken an unconventional approach to writing

(/s)

@SecureOwl they're expecting me to explain the formatting I want, instead of using shortcuts or quickly clicking a button?
@Dany @SecureOwl
They are expecting that nobody is going to read that document, so why bother formatting it beyond the auto-bold, intelli-italic and the created wihh/by Copilot links it added?! 🙃
@jbiserkov @SecureOwl "You wrote an excellent document! I have added in some headings, randomly bolded words and of course have added emojis in your text."
@Dany @SecureOwl
and elelemdashes, don't forget the elelemdashes!
@SecureOwl but you cannot use "it", 'coz that's mine☝️
@bent0_b0x @SecureOwl I think that copyright is still held by Mr King.
@SecureOwl
Too stupid for words!! 🤯
@SecureOwl and here's me typing everything Ascii numbers. You learn some new every 68 65 89
@SecureOwl Even they have realised that putting images into Word docs break everything.
@SecureOwl these are like you've never seen words done before. On a page. Your words.

@SecureOwl That screenshot is a lie!

Word (Agent) applies LLMs so you can create a Word document with just someone ELSE'S words, scraped and regurgitated!

@datum @SecureOwl a very astute point! It's the exact opposite of creating a document using YOUR words!
@SecureOwl I was doing it before Microsoft even was, using pen and paper.
@SecureOwl I thought for a minute they were doing achievements in word 💀

@SecureOwl

I’ve always done that, and without Microsoft since 1999.

Oops, well, not created a Word document, actually. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@SecureOwl and just for clarity, they're not talking about using speakwrite.

@SecureOwl

Whats the name of their product again? This is genius above my level.

@SecureOwl yeah it always Microsoft
@SecureOwl
But everyone knows that Word docs must also have pictures in them so people can moan about a word processor being useless at DTP.
@SecureOwl
When I was young we called that "writing".
@SecureOwl Are they re-inventing the wheel now?

@SecureOwl
"that's how i've always done it, Microsoft"

Treasonous talk - straight to the gulag with this one.

Bow before your AI gods.

@SecureOwl they surely mean you will not have to do any dark magic and ritual sacrifice every time you move a picture? That would be great indeed!
@SecureOwl How do they think computers work lol
@SecureOwl What do they actually want to say? That this agent will screen all my previous documents and continue creating new texts that mimick my usual vocabulary and style? Or in my own words, create shitty slop?
@SecureOwl haha amazing, what a pathetic solutions made by MS as always.

@SecureOwl

Next they (Microsoft) is going to sell you a processor for your words.

@SecureOwl Can it move a picture without ending the universe
@SecureOwl WoW !!! I didn't know you can make a word document with your words in Word ! -_-
@SecureOwl And this is why I use Libreoffice X3
@SecureOwl I feel Microsoft has lost the plot for what its productivity suite, Office, is supposed to be used for. 🙄
Microsoft and Google may have to surrender people's data to Saudi Arabia after signing huge deals there

Saudi Arabia is seeking to be an innovation hub, but activists are warning that tech firms could be complicit in the repression of dissidents.

@SecureOwl Sorry Viboslop, I started writing structured plaintext with minor typesetting hints in the early 80s and haven’t let you near me hoose since you removed the Formula Character from your word salad masher.

Lunch: make something to eat only using food.
@SecureOwl it’s almost like it’s in the name
@SecureOwl “use a word processor with Words!”
