Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
Yes, this is official documentation from the MS Learn course for the Agentic AI Solution Architect certificate

I'm starting to think they aren't concerned about making their slides even remotely veritable. This one's barely even combigent!
I started using linkwarden to archive their documentation for various things just so I know I'm not crazy when it changes.
Those are perfectly cromulent words.
I thought it wasn't in English at first.

It's Microslop. The people who had any resemblance of work ethics left a long time ago. No one still working there gives any shits about QA - especially not the management.
This is not AI, AI would have made it much better. I mean, the only thing LLMs are quite good at is writing words, it is uncommon they misspell a word.
LLMs misspell words in generated images. Modern models aren’t as bad as they were a year or two ago, but we don’t know what model was used here.
Due to the negative press combigent
Veritable answer? Indubitably!
Saw this article from Microslop the other day about their MDASH copilot model competing with Mythos for bug finding/fixing.
And here's the image they went with for the flowchart of what the AI does... Complete with overlapping text and the worst layout I've ever seen.
Zero humans proofed this.
I know this! This is a slide deck which only makes sense in an interactive way, where the steps are revealed after one another. Probably straight from a presentation.
Don't attribute bad work to AI which can be done in the same way by an incompetent human.
As someone who's career depended on presentations for a while:
Never build animations in-slide (unless they are purely aesthetic).
Instead:
Build multiple slides which duplicate the previous and add new boxes with transitions on the slides. Bonus: change the title on each build to cover the key point.
Sure, they take longer to edit. But that leave-behind export to PDF always works.

AI doesn't misspell words. It's more like hypercorrect which reveals it.
Unless MS uses some very outdated models of course.
You forgot the /s
Unless the whole thing is a generated image, then it can certainly misspell words.
Claude is quite often making spelling mistakes
You missed "Microsoft 36S" and "Intemal Docs"
Yeah those are very weird errors. Not like AI hallucinations. But more like OCR errors.
I wonder if they imported another PowerPoint and then the AI made images out of it to process it. That would be a very inefficient way to do it.
Maybe the AI has had an OCR pass grafted onto its output processing to make it seem more capable of producing text. AI image generation usually makes weird alien looking text, I could imagine someone deciding to add on an automatic cleanup step to try to make it less obviously AI.

Anyone remember how much nicer the world felt before we all realized nobody in charge of anything with any real power has any idea what the fuck they're doing?
Well back then we thought everyone in charge was evil. Back then we had Krutschev, Nixon etc. Always nuclear war looming. And Reagan with this trickle downs, the Bush wars over made-up WMDs etc.
I don't think there was ever really a positive period. Maybe the 90s which was kinda the high point. Economics were good, America and NATO was the undisputed world power, nobody took global warming seriously yet and the internet was promising a great future.
Then after 2000 we had the dot com crash, 9/11, the resulting wars, Russia becoming an enemy again, the financial world crisis, the rise of the internet as a surveillance tool, global warming, the pandemic, exploding house prices everywhere.
Really pretty much exactly after the change of the century everything turned to shit.
Economics were good if you lived in a western country. Former Soviet Block, Yugoslavia, and global South countries were having a rough go of thing in the 90s
They're still having a rough go of things, and they were having a rough go of things before that as well, so that's not really a valid counterpoint.
Yeah but the future was bright back then.
Combigent is too nice a sounding word to lack any real meaning it needs one.
Combigent [kəmˈbʌɪdʒ(ə)nt] {adj} A portmanteau of combine and emergent, describing sth. derived from combination, the ability to combine newly discovered facts or bullshit hallucinated by AI. Examples: The LLM gave a combigent response. The manager's presentation was quite combigent.
Combigent (adj.)
Definition: A word that seems like a real word but actually isn't
who morged that? Why does that happen continvously?
What a combigent, inbiltum response!
Seems perfectly cromulent to me
Did AI make these slides?
