Is the humor because the image appears to be created via AI?
post
So we're complaining about AI via an AI generated image? 🙄
I was complaining about copilot specifically, which is an embarrassingly terrible product
Not sure why saying copilot sucks means all AI sucks.
You're right, it doesn't mean that. But they do all suck.
Can you please explain the issue with using AI to create a simple meme?
Well, for this meme specifically, because it's a waste of water and electricity to "create" a meme that already exists.
"A guy who likes to keep an empty stomach until the hard part of the day is done."
"Garlic"
"Sapper Morton"
Get the original picture instead of an AI manipulated one.
Like rain on your wedding day
Like a free ride when you've already paid
Fake Ryan Gosling sez "HET!" to machine-generated memes.
Refusing AI by using an AI generated meme?
But why?
Even AI thinks copilot is shit
You sure? this would be quite simple to whip up in photoshop
Is Microsoft just another name for Microslop?
First thing I had opening my work laptop yesterday, notification pop-up titled "Open and pin Copilot!"
Fuck...OFF!
They'll sneak it into your editor when you're not looking.
Neither vim nor neovim are safe! (I hear emacs is fine, but who really knows all the people that provided contributions to the pile of elisp they call their emacs.)
So.. uh.. laptops have a copilot key on the keyboard now..
It's exactly where my control key used to be, so I often hit that button and nothing happens, unless Im using a Windows via AWS and suddenly I keep getting copilot springing up.
It's a really user hostile move knowing that people will accidentally hit that button
So now I have to turn off the freaking Windows key and a copilot key.
Perfectly reasonable
Can you rebind it?
It's janky AF mess.
Internally the copilot key is hard coded to be meta + shift + f23. If you don't recognise what the f23 key is, that's because it was last featured over four decades ago on the IBM model M.
The fact that Microsoft has decreed that the Copilot key must send this exact shortcut of three different keys makes it very difficult to remap consistently.
Most keyboard remapping software (SharpKeys) work best at remapping single keys, not shortcuts. Windows users can use PowerToys to remap this three key shortcut, if you try to use it normally as a right ctrl, e.g. rctrl lshift p it doesn't work consistently.
I suspect it might be because you're essentially trying to send a whopping five keycodes for a shortcut, when most programs already struggle to handle 4.
Linux users were similarly out of luck until early last year, when most desktop environments fixed up the key codes.

And that's why the internet is addicted to old Thinkpads. I actively avoid these "Copilot+ PCs" with the Copilot key when I shop for laptops, and you should too.
Co-pilot slowed down my work machine to near unusable, and they make it pretty hard to get rid of. I'm not anti-AI at all and I hate co-pilot because of how it was deployed. Windows in general got in the habit of hiding options from users and installing things like security that bogs down the computer more than helps but can't be easily turned off.
You cant use that word literally.
My company forces me to use it. It’s shit. I asked for Claude. And this is what they give me. It can’t even parse the file I send it. It forgets I uploaded the file after about 16 seconds and asks for me to upload it again. It’s amazing how bad it is.
My company pushes it too. It's useful for some things, but you really have to be aware of its limitations. The same is true of Claude of course, but I have less problems letting Claude touch my code. The free GPT models work better as an interactive rubber duck or an interactive encyclopedia.
you can use the underlying model, you just have to rotate the key every 30 mins, but that's scriptable.
OK, but I still wanna fuck Ryan Gosling
Everyone does but that is an infiltration unit wearing his corpse as a skinsuit
My work pushes it on us heavily. I TRY to use it. It’s just so terrible. Any other AI is way more functional and provides better responses. I do IT work. Maybe other fields have a better response to copilot?
Sadly companies, even government orgs are still looking to use it/deploy it in more scenarios.
