You don't get to complain about the slop when you built the slop factory.
Not The Onion
Welcome

The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!
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.
...And mandated their employees use it.
Now he's crying they did what they were told
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 🤷
"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.
Yeah, they're kind of slow. They're throwing money at this, and they're just realizing it?!?!?! Typical. The only ones with common sense is the common man.
I mean, it's somewhat possible, depending on context. However even if it helps someone with vision realize their goals 10 percent faster, it helps the person with zero vision pump out slop 100x faster than someone with good content to make.
Then don't invent the fucking torment nexus!
I keep shoving puppies into the shredder but all i get are shredded puppies!!
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^*^

Now just imagine putting that shit into the code for your flagship operating system without any kind of human oversight.
Lmao my immediate thought was AI when a .NET update broke the Cambria font recently


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

Put your descriptor in the brackets then url in the parentheses.
Yes, and that is mentioned very early in the article in the OP…
One of the hilarious consequences of Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other content-theft platforms is that they're trained entirely stolen human-made content. AI data sets post 2023 are doomed to rely on cannibalizing AI-generated content, creating an incestuous data "doom loop" Roslansky spoke of here
Haha, I didn't know about "doom loops." Ah, that's why they burning land, water, etc., more assets for the Balance Sheet. If AI flops, they'll just flip to cryptocurrency and leave us out of the markets entirely.
Microsoft (and maybe all the AI companies) made at least few mistakes in the marketing of this technology. AI isn't a replacement for human accountability. It still requires oversight and expertise. It is great for a first draft. It is terrible for a complete work product. Agents (with the right loops to verify accuracy) are reasonably complex - and most companies don't have the people development infrastructure to train their teams with the right skills to build them. Honestly, AI is shining a light on how terribly businesses have been run over the last 30 years, and how lazy business leaders are.
It is terrible for a first draft if you're aiming for something that reads like a human being's actual thoughts. Don't let an LLM think for you and create the first draft of "your" thoughts. At most, if you absolutely must, use it as a spell checker. But write your words yourself.
No one wants to know what ChatGPT thinks. We might want to know what you think... But only if it's actually you doing the thinking.
It is great for a first draft
Only if the aim is towards mediocrity.
Oh, he's the one running Linkedin, now it makes sense why that site, of all places, has anti-AI features now. I hope the shareholders will have mercy with his soul.
LinkedIn also has AI features. They ruined the job search a few weeks ago. It's now natural language, missing a bunch of filters, and doesn't even return the full text of a job post without additional clicks.
It also takes forever to load a post because it's trying to decide whether you're a match or not. It's not very good at figuring that out. It keeps saying I'm a great match for jobs that require languages I don't speak, or for jobs that require a master's.
I hope this is a sign they'll revert it, but I'm doubtful. LinkedIn was the least bad job search I've found.
most scenarios
That's a strange way to spell "all"
I have a niece working for the gov on AI… 6 months ago she was all in on it, excited about the potential… yesterday she told me she is looking for a placement in a different area because she sees zero future in these projects
I got into this business inspired by the innovations Microsoft was exploring a decade ago. Microsoft led cloud convenience and digital platform synergy
ew
Sounds like the sort of guy who's entire "job" is just saying things.
The phrase "no shit" comes to mind.
