Copilot AI ‘Microslop’ Chat Ban Is Not Censorship—Says ~~Microsoft~~ Microslop

ftfy

[-] 4am@lemmy.zip 71 points 3 months ago

So they won’t mind if we start calling it “NoPilot” then?

I also like FauxPilot.

faux - adj - artificial or imitation; fake.

Not to* be confused with the OSS alternative, also named fauxpilot.

They’re within their rights and it’s definitely not something they want to have take off, whether it’s accurate or not.

But apparently their brand management doesn’t know who Barbara Streisand is.

The homeowner?

[-] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 44 points 3 months ago

It’s "brand management"

Censorship is not censorship -- says Microslop.

Microsoft will have plenty more missteps as they continue to fall from relevance.

Next up: Gaslighting!

they are right. it's their discord and so they make the rules. it's not censorship.

but it is very much letting us know that it got under their skin. and so i will keep using that name everywhere i can

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

It's still censorship. Self imposed censorship is still censorship.

Microslop's Slopya Nadella is getting butt hurt

[-] FireWire400@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Cry harder, Microslop

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Well, here they are right. Censorship is an action by a government, not by a company.

This does not change the fact that the Streisand effect for this stupid move is well deserved.

[-] phar@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago

As the other person said, you are quite wrong.

Censor - to suppress or delete as objectionable

[-] percent@infosec.pub 4 points 3 months ago

Maybe they'd prefer "Macroslop"?

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

That's just going to cause people to invent an even more insulting word.
