I loved the:

Of course, the internet rarely leaves things there.

There are many things wrong about the current Internet, but the pettiness against any affront (real or perceived) won't ever die, and I think that's good.

Idk Microsoft, maybe fix your AI so it doesn't recommend Microsoft products that are either depreciated or don't exist.

It's pretty embarrassing for you.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 38 minutes ago

If it was the only bad thing about Microsoft, it would be pretty great though.

Things must be rough for the AI fandom when a Discord made for CoPilot is unsustainably critical of CoPilot

Who else would even join except bots?

Reminds me of the time when Disney allegedly* sent a memo to workers at Disney Land and Disney World telling them that, if they didn't stop complaining about the abysmal working conditions by calling both parks Mousewitz, they'd be fired.

Within the hour, workers started calling it Duchau in stead.

Why would Microslop do this? Aren’t they proud of the slop they are filling everything with? Or is this just a simple insecurity thing? Want us to call you Macroslop instead?

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 126 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

NoPilot

I like it, I like it.

[–] BryyM@lemmy.world 23 points 3 hours ago

Thank you for pointing out this clearly superior word, you expanded my vocabulary!

Love how every social media site is becoming more and more like /r/Conservative.

[–] DrDickHandler@lemmy.world 2 points 19 minutes ago

They essentially ARE. You can also throw in all major broadcasting networks in that bucket as well. Everything is pro Israel and they are all trying to justify their genocide to their dumb fuck base.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 2 points 24 minutes ago (1 children)

Filled by morons and Russian bots?

You'd never even know other countries have the ability to use Markov Chains.

I wanna join the server just to look at the absolute loser shit that must be going down in the "Aha AI Moments" channel

20 years ago (yes, I'm old) we called it Microshaft Winblows. Perhaps it's time to resurrect that.

[–] NavySqueal@lemmy.world 24 points 3 hours ago

Ah microslop kicking themselves for not buying discord

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 24 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Microslop needs to ask Copilot about the Streisand Effect. As someone not chronically on social media, I hadn't heard about this term yet. Now, it's one of my favorites.

Funny enough, I've been experimenting with Copilot at work and it does have some genuine uses for looking up information quickly. Especially when trying to troubleshoot Microslop products. Between the disaster called "Windows 11", the cluster-fuck which is New Outlook and the complete shitshow which falls under the umbrella of "Defender", it's obvious that they have stopped investing in QA and testing. At least Copilot can help me find the right document to quickly tell me that I can't do something I used to be able to do in the old version of Outlook. Or, that Defender is incapable of doing things which even Symantec Antivirus had gotten right in the early 2000's.

[–] BryyM@lemmy.world 20 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Please edit your post to add Nopilot instead of copilot, its the superior word

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Tempting. though I might have to go with FauxPilot.

[–] engywook@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago

I'm afraid this will be lost on the dipshits thinking you're making some reference to Starfox

[–] krigo666@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago

Losers, and on top sore... :D

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

Microslop really should know better than to cry about it.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Users just really believe in truth in advertising. Microslop wouldn't be encouraging people to be dirty, filthy liars, would they?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

That's how any absolutistic regime reacts. Which companies usually are.

[–] username_1@programming.dev 2 points 4 hours ago

Microsoft's dick is so micro and soft that they can't stand even an unpleasant word on Discord.

Back to Hasecorp for now...
