    “Let’s go another way where AI helps us to do things, to learn things, to create things, but in ways that we enhance and advance with our distinct perspectives and unique experiences!”

    AI can’t do that. And, even if it could be made to look like it is, no one you’re paying is going to bother.

    Fucking idiots.

    "I can’t be an idiot, look at all the money I have. "

    Stupid is as stupid does. Idiot.

      The problem is that they see people hating the torment nexus and then they assume it must be because they didn’t market it correctly.

      Like "oh I guess they don’t like it because they can’t share it, let’s add a suffering multiplexer so they can enjoy it with friends and family*

    They don’t like when people use the AI trash they baked in their apps? Maybe they should get rid of it 🤔

      i (kind of) understand the crypto scam going on, and the AI center switch to crypto makes sense. but what’s the lie or angle companies make to sell the switch?

    You don’t get to complain about the slop when you built the slop factory.

      He’s probably only complaining because it’s affecting him personally. If it was only destroying everyone else’s lives he would be happy to be an executioner. After all, he’s just following orders.

      Remember, though: Microsoft invented the slop factory when they created Microsoft Office.

      Sending useless documents back and forth via Outlook predates AI by decades.

      I thought they admitted defeat, embracing the uselessness and futility of nearly all office work when they released SharePoint, but I guess they’re still just getting started 🤷

    I’d give him the benefit of the doubt, because surely not everyone at microslop wants copilot everywhere, but he heads the department that put copilot into excel, so all my sympathies evaporated.
