I hope the employees are doing this on purpose. Like, “Oh, you going to fucking make me use AI? Right. I’ll use AI for fucking everything. I’ll even let it decide what to send to you. Enjoy.”

"EV President" who the fuck says this? It's "Executive VP"

He's actually an electric vehicle

"My one condition for this interview - I must be referred to with my President title in full, not shortened to VP. People always focus on the 'executive' part and forget the President part. It's important."

This is the Doom loop, says the fucking ringleader...

WELL WELL WELL, WHO COULD'VE PREDICTED SUCH A PREDICAMENT??????????

perhaps Microsoft's senior execs need to read the room, sit down, and take some responsibility for the chaos they've unleashed on the world.

And come down from their ivory towers, see things from the same plane of existence as the serfs and plebeians that should be grateful for living under their shadow? Preposterous!!!

This is the guy who’s head of Office. The person responsible for greenlighting Copilot in Excel

[–] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 37 points 15 hours ago

Or, even worse, renaming office 360 to copilot

Motherfucker must be getting altitude sickness from how high his petard has hosted him.

You made your bed now sleep in it, you prince.

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 32 points 18 hours ago

wild that this has basically become "you guys need to take some personal responsibility and use AI in a way that is useful and makes us a return on our insane investment"

[–] chunk6235@piefed.social 18 points 17 hours ago

Good, you can get the same exp the rest of us have to deal with from both coworkers and clients.

Nothing like getting a slopmail with some dumbass ai answer not even remotely related to the issue at hand.

Drown in the cesspit you’ve filled to overflowing.

When you're losing your biggest fans (e.g. the author), that's a strong signal..
