If it works, it's thanks to us. If it doesn't, it's your fault.

Ah, the famous "Fox News" defense of claiming you're an entertainment medium but you should totally trust it.

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.

For entertainment in Excel...

Just like Fox news

Then why are they promoting it, in a pizza ad, as letting CoPilot handle the spreadsheets. Do they not trust their own product!?

Are you not entertained?!

Trillion dollar investments, dishing out private nuclear power plants, redistributing water allocation nationwide, using it in every level of every structure of society and it's just for entertainment.

Anyone tell the politicians they bent over like hand worn muppets for a gag or do you think they already know and simply enjoy being treated for the fools that they are?

Proposed revision: Do not use Copilot for business purposes.

It's almost like it's only a data harvesting tool. Why tf should they implement it everywhere for free?

Oh lord, I might get fired for doing this, but I smell a company-wide email about Copilot Monday morning.

Surprise twist: I don’t and won’t rely on it for jack shit

(to Microsoft) So, you won't be using your ai for vibecoding your updates anymore, right? ...Right?

..checking Microsoft's status page..

User impact: A subset of admins in North America may be unable to access the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Current status: We confirmed that an issue in a recent update introduced errors in the code path that facilitates calls to the Microsoft 365 admin center when encountered by admins, which resulted in their inability to access the Microsoft 365 admin center.

I guess Microsoft didn't get the memo they released, then...

Yes, that's why it's in Office

Copilot: the Fox News of AI

Theo whole OS is garbage. Used to be at least functional, now it’s an ad infested AI slop fest.

Someone finally listend to their lawyers

I can see where an AI that fucks everything up all the time might be entertaining like a good slapstick comedy, but nah, Resident Evil Requiem is sufficient entertainment for now.

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.

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

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 y the fuck is it prominently showing on the front page of office.com?!

Where I live, high ranking bank employees are required to use it for serious use and important advice.

Twist the reality all you want, copilot manages my whole life.

Meanwhile, watching the NCAA game yesterday I watched multiple commercials from Microsoft stating copilot as something to use in your daily work place and work flow. And I didn't see any disclaimer that AI was for entertaining purposes only and that they weren't liable for killing your business.

I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride.

First entertainment purposes only is corporate language for gives the wrong answers and don't want to lose the lawsuit if we tell people to trust it. Just like Fox News.

fuck you mean, youre pushing ai as if its usable on every corner of the OS, and NOW you announced it to be unreliable?

they probably had Copilot write the new TOS that included this line and since nobody who uses AI reads the final output, nobody caught it.

they never expected consumers to actually read the TOS.

that must mean outlook is for entertainment purposes only too, since it includes copilot now...

So it's Microslop's Rule 34?

Hmm, this thing is on my work laptop…

I do a few things at work that I use AI for. Work had a gpt enterprise key, now we've moved to claude. Through O365, I also have access to copilot.

Pretty much anything I ask claude or gpt about, I can be sure to get a solid answer or one that was at least on Stack Exchange or Reddit. If that fails, and I drill down a little more on a problem, adding details, they'll both get a little better after a couple of questions and usually come up with a reasonable answer.

Not copilot. If you ask copilot something and it doesn't come back in one shot with an authoritative cited answer, just walk away. It makes no attempt to ensure the answer is right or sane. It either hit in training or it didn't. And if it didn't, trying to convince it to strike out in a few other directions to solve it is absolutely a fool's errand.

It's like they bought into OpenAI, then never got any updates or made any progress. I

In other words: Snake oil salesman back paddles after the ice he‘s standing on got very thin.

The name MSN Copilot makes sense.

incompetent man babies. can't even own up to their fuck ups a like a real man.
