People are using AI a lot, or people were already using programs with recently added AI features a lot?

I have it on my work laptop, because unfortunately my company bought into the hype. Every once in a while I ask it how to do a thing, just to see if it will help. So far copilot has been wrong 100% of the time.

And are these people using Microsoft’s Copilot AI a lot in the room with us now, Satya?

Yea, sure. They're unwilling "active users" because they accidentally click on some copilot garbage that's been shoved into every inch of Windows. While I see plenty of folks using various AI tools, none of those tools are copilot.

OS takes a screenshot every five seconds. CEO: "Damn, look how much it is being used!" /s

"A lot" is a great, quantifiable metric there, computer man! 👍👍👍📈💯🍾

Yeah, by accident.

Yeah, MS Teams (not my choice) had a pop-up that said that in order for a meeting to be recorded, I needed to accept that my video and what I say will be used by Microsoft for various purposes including training copilot.

So, that counts as me using copilot, right? /s

edit: A word

Well yeah, you rename a core product to Copilot and suddenly you have tons of users

Didn't they add copilot to notepad, to the file Explorer, to windows I assume as a non removable service (internet explorer anyone?), and to who knows how many more places?

Whatever metrics they claim to have are for sure not inflated. /s

If people are indeed using copilot a lot then great: good for you, please shut up, you don't need me on-board.

Man this guy looks like a husk of curses.

Ohh, that would be all the developers at jobs with daily AI use quotas running scheduled scripts to make it look like they are using AI so they don't lose their jobs.

I mean if it auto generates the summary and all by just opening a word documents then yeah it's being "used" but human in the chair is just ignoring that as another bloat

No, they're not. 90% of the "use" is them forcing it on us.

I just tried using my voice to call my son on the phone, and Co-Pilot answered, explained what it could do for me, and finally made the call. It took at least 5 times longer than usual to just dial a number. I didn't ask for Co-Pilot, I barely can stand the old way, this new one really, really sucks, and again, I didn't ask for this, it forced itself on my life.

Fuck this AI shit, complicating everything just so some CEOs can rationalize their stupid bonuses.

Since they renamed Microsoft Office to Copilot, they have millions of Copilot users. It’s almost as popular as Google+ when Google made all Gmail users Google+ users.

Yeah cause when I instinctively click the Microsoft learn link below the Azure error it takes me to copilot instead of documentation.

I edited my registry to disable it.

I just uninstalled my outlook because of forced copilot garbage and forcing me to the cloud when I just wanted to open a pdf. I was enraged and now I am done with all microslop garbage. I used to have an annual subscription too.

Already on Linux, was just too lazy to switch everything but this was enough.

Because they keep cramming it in all my apps at work and every time I load my email, it tries to open Copilot?

They utterly trashed their OS, a globally ~dominant cash cow, at an astonishing pace. By completely, eagerly (forcibly!) jumping the gun on exciting new tech, maybe the single above-all "thing you never do with anything even like a cash cow of any shape or size".

As in, that is known - viscerally, below the level of words or even thought, as if that knowledge originates from another realm - by anyone who has ever actually been directly responsible for any valuable piece of technology.

The depth of ignorance and really just flat-out juvenile naivety (fueled by naked greed) that produced this is something I'll probably be thinking about for the rest of my life. Truly amazing, just historically, I mean mythically foolish.

This dude has been locked into this outcome for a long time, and it's getting increasingly obvious how disastrous it is.

There are no dances left for him to perform except "it's really not that bad!"

Hey, Satya. You aren't fooling anyone and you don't have the knack of bald-faced lying like Kristi and Donny.

I use the office apps for college and I avoid the AI, its annoying, it pops up and im usually saying " wtf is this" no i need a blank document
