So it’s not called Microsoft 365 copilot anymore then? Since that is fully focused for business and not for entertainment. Make up your fking mind Microsoft
Hmm, this thing is on my work laptop…
Ah, the famous “Fox News” defense of claiming you’re an entertainment medium but you should totally trust it.
Ah yes copilot in the app everybody thinks of for entertainment…notepad.
Surprise twist: I don’t and won’t rely on it for jack shit
So it’s Microslop’s Rule 34?
Oh lord, I might get fired for doing this, but I smell a company-wide email about Copilot Monday morning.
For entertainment in Excel…
There are some real sickos out there man
That’s complete and utter bullshit. Either stand behind your product or don’t ship it universally. Pick a lane. Either it’s worth using it or isn’t, so which is it?
This wishy washy bullshit paints a picture of an embarrassingly inept organization, is that really what you’re trying to project Microsoft?
Then how come my company just roll this shit out for work? Allstate just walk us through how us co pilot to type our emails. And to use it for note taking.
Because in the end, you, the person that is forced to use various AI chatbot/agent/model/whatever, will be held responsible for anything that happens after one of the 3000 decisions they imposed you to make with no way to check everything turns out to cause the slightest problem. When that happens, YOU were supposed to know that NOTHING the AI tells/says/do is to be expected correct, so it’s your responsibility if something’s gone wrong.
Already told them I refuse to let AI write my emails or make my notes. Fuck that noise.
If it works, it’s thanks to us. If it doesn’t, it’s your fault.
Yes, that’s why it’s in Office
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.
we don’t expect perfection from humans, so why should we expect it from AI?
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)?
Like there’s a big shortage of unemployed humans
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.
“Is your AI accountable for mistakes? All these idiots are…”
That’s such a bad argument too. The whole point of technology is to help perfect the output of humans. Why would we buy technology that is known to not do that
“You can get pretty good results most of the time and save money on labor!” Not like our whole business model is focused on expertise and compliance or anything. Surely our clients won’t mind a few little mistakes here and there, as a treat.
The neat part is that we can’t even claim that they’re little mistakes or that there’s few of them.
Deploy everywhere, trust nowhere. Bold strategy.
Standard fart operating procedure
Then why are they promoting it, in a pizza ad, as letting CoPilot handle the spreadsheets. Do they not trust their own product!?
My favorite part of that ad was that it was just “magic.”
He plugged in existing numbers and it generated some charts and there’s a line out the door!
Did AI renegotiate supplier agreements? Did it find a way to advertise in a new way? Ha, ha! Who’s to say, just use it why don’t cha??
They want your money, not your lawsuits.
