Only because of the cost after switching to usage-based pricing. Before it was an invaluable tool, now it’s an overpriced failure. Now it can fuck off and I’ll use a local model.

At my final tech job, they were gearing up to fire me, and so they gave me the task of writing unit tests for a golang-based k8s deployer that was somewhere around 700k lines. They specifically told me to use Copilot for it, and for just about every function I tried to unit test, it tried to make sure that .onclick() was still working.

Yeah they ended up firing me.

One time, I was using Google maps, and construction kept me from taking the planned route. Google kept telling me to turn at every intersection.

“Hey Google, shut up!”

“…Silencing voice navigation.”

I felt like I kicked a robo-puppy, but it got the job done.

Ah, a Microsoft product? So built-in shittyness? No thank you.

For the fun of it I once told Gemini’s overview I wish it would shut the fuck up. It gave me links to anger management classes. lol
