Start using ai to write all your mails and communication with managers. Turn it to LinkedIn max
I wonder, did they have to do this when search engines became a thing 🤔
You don’t need to wonder, you can just Bing™ it!
This is ridiculous. Have people seen the recent AI code review from Audacity?? This whole AI bubble needs to burst already.
Got me curious, spill the tea sister!
To sum up, its the tail as old as time (~2023), an llm being entirely useless for a task that could be done by other tooling perfectly.
Did AI tell you to use “tail” there?
No, that was good old fashioned human stupidity, fixing.
While true; do curl http://copilot/?query=what+is+the+time; sleep 10; doneBet the AI can’t see through this.
As a heavy AI user on a daily basis…Copilot is hands down one of, if not the worst, in existence.
This will not end well for them.
Have found this too.
We were only allowed to use Copilot at my last job, ChatGPT + the others were all blacklisted.
We received SO many tickets from users across the organisation (including IT) requesting access to ChatGPT.
Copilot is literally ChatGPT
System prompt and other tooling make some difference.
It can’t be literally chatgpt and use different letters. One of them has an O.
I asked chatgpt (because this shitpost needs more AI), and it said:
So while their names are different, the core AI technology is the same! It’s like having two different brands (say, Ford and Tesla) both using electric motors—the motor is the same technology, just in different vehicles.
But comparing suicidal cars to a Ford is total baloney, so ChatGPT is full of shit.
It’s been an honour to waste your time and 72L of water to get the AI to shitpost.
because it uses ChatGPT for its backend
I think they’re being sarcasitc lol
am being serious
Fine do whatever you want to your shit company stop forcing me to use copilot on everything. This is worse than the failed clippy
The only hope for Microsoft is if Xbox takes over all of Microsoft and transforms the whole company
Sorry best we can do is have the marketing department take over XBox and now it’s just a logo they license out.
Windows is already garbage when humans are codeding it.
Yuuuup this is my company too. They’re monitoring our GH Copilot /Cursor usage and they’re going to apply to our performance reviews
Malicious compliance time, full-on Vibe coding, just accept all changes. Who cares about optimisation, readability, or documentation. You’re using AI anything goes.
In the list of things nobody cares about, you forgot “actually do what’s asked”. Use these tool for a very short while and be amazed at how bad it is to do things that are extremely well known and documented.
I feel like this is going to cause so many problems in the near future. They’re not ready for it and they don’t even know.
They must really want their workforce to be less efficient while dramatically lowering quality and security across the board.
except programmers are gonna continue with what they were already doing, at most putting a script on copilot to get the metrics
don’t forget that if you don’t turn in the project in time you’re fired, the issues always get thrown at the coder, it’s never the company’s fault
Company I’m at also does the forced AI and it’s all but mandatory now. Problem is as code monkeys we’re past the point of heading down to the Winchester for a pint until it blows over. They’re pushing so hard in order to “not fall behind” that you literally can’t escape it. I think even malicious compliance won’t cut it. And when 8/10 companies that dictate the market say that “this is the future”, then this is the future they’ll make whether we like it or not.
Edit: the silver lining is that we’re working with tools that are better than copilot at generating menial work like generating boilerplate code, unit tests, release notes, walls of text for app documentation etc.
release notes and app documentation:
memes aside, are they blaming the coders or the ai on the slower project turnout?
They are banking on the AI will eventually be smart enough that it will replace the workers that fed it.
Hackers are about to have a golden era
Slopsquatting is already taking off
How very corporate of them: people don’t want to do something? Screw finding out why, let’s make it mandatory and poof, problem solved!
It’s called dog-slopping
Dog-fooding, but instead of food, it’s a dog eating its own vomit.
Apparently no longer optional for their customers either, based on how hard they are pushing it in Office 365, sorry Microsoft 365, no sorry Microsoft 365 Copilot.
The latest change of dumping you into a Copilot chat immediately on login and hiding all the actually useful stuff is just desperation incarnate.
The process to log in to the online portal of Outlook is so bad it’s crossed into comical territory. So much friction, only to shunt you to a full screen
clippycopilot page.I’d be curious to know what the usage statistics are for that page. Like, what could a person possibly accomplish there?
Corporate monopoly with overpriced products doing corporate shit
