Microsoft denies Copilot is only for entertainment purpose, after its own document says do not trust AI
This is not what it seems. What it is is trickery.
"The old Copilot menu has been replaced with 'writing tools'," but these "are still powered by AI and are pretty much identical to the selection found in the old menu."
"Microsoft has just replaced the Copilot button with a pen icon. In addition, the company has removed mentions of AI in the Settings menu and has placed the option to disable the AI-powered writing tools within the 'Advanced features' section."

Screenshot of a Microsoft web page which genuinely says "Copilot is for entertainment purposes only. It can make mistakes, and it may not work as intended. Don't rely on Copilot for important advice. Use Copilot at your own risk". You can even see the microsoft.com domain name at the bottom of the screenshot and everything.

My thoughts on generative "AI"
I'm glad generative artificial "intelligence" was not a thing yet during the vast majority of my career. A number of realizations arose while exploring generative Large Language Models…
Generative AI is based on massive theft from creatives, without consent, credit or compensation. Using gen-AI is asking a chatbot to spit out the combined efforts of ripped-off creatives. It is industrializing and devaluing human expression, artistry and craftsmanship. Creatives are losing their jobs and motivation because tech corporations unscrupulously absorb and exploit their work. If you appreciate art, support the artists, not the thieves of their labor.
Tech corporations are building more and more huge data centers for AI processing, consuming lots of internet bandwidth, energy, water and more, increasing scarcity, prices and emissions, degrading the already fragile environment.
Unless you're using a fully local AI configuration, every bit of data you submit contributes to the power and reach of corporations and governments, decreasing your privacy and security.
Generative AI enables deepfakes that are widely used for abuse, deception, cybercrime, misinformation and propaganda, polluting justice, science advancement and news report credibility.

I would like to thank the nascent "AI" industry for their significant contributions to all manner of artistic and creative endeavours in today's society: writing, coding, art, music, and everything else. [1]
Because they have single-handedly created entire new markets for all of these things - new categories such as "writing with guaranteed no AI", "coding with guaranteed no AI", "art with guaranteed no AI", "music with guaranteed no AI", etc. Without them, these whole classes of creative output would simply not exist.
[1] They are also innovating in the world of financial and investor fraud, but I'm not considering those areas in this post.

Now: write a prompt for copilot to generate the spreadsheet. Rewrite the prompt, rewrite one more time, finally a spreadsheet. Review spreadsheet, ask copilot why some columns are missing, new spreadsheet, review carefully, some numbers don't seem right, rewrite the prompt one more time. Give up, do it yourself, but tell your boss how much more productive you are so you don't get let go for not using AI.

Today's working day spent in pair programming with #Copilot. We were reverse-engineering a #Bluetooth device to make it work with our app. Those devices were working previously, but the manufacturer later made it much more complicated to use them with third-party apps.
This was my first such experience. I mean #AI, not #ReverseEngineering.
First of all, that was a fun process. Long, complex, but fun. Second, that was unexpectedly successful. Also, I learned a lot. Everything else is NDA.

This satirical image mocks the Microsoft Office suite by altering the company's branding to read "Microslop" alongside the familiar four-colored square logo. Below this header, two rows of standard application icons are displayed with their names changed to include the word "slop," such as "Wordslop," "Exslop," "PowerSlop," "NoteSlop," and "Sloplook" in the top row. The bottom row continues the pattern with "Slop Point," "SlopDrive," "Slopccess," and "Power Slop Intelligence," with the sole exception being the Microsoft Teams icon, which is bitingly labeled "Recycle Bin."

I wrote an article yesterday that was supposed to be about 2,000 words. My first draft was closer to 2,500 words. Asked #Copilot to take a look at my draft and suggest ways I could be more concise. It offered several ideas for ways I could edit down my draft to get closer to the length I needed. Did I use all of those ideas? No, but a few of them were pretty good. #AI

Hey we got WSL though. That's pretty cool.
Many years ago I made this high-level observation about the difference between UNIX-like operating systems and Windows.
In the UNIX mental model, that CPU and RAM belongs to the end user. As an operating system, you want to be a good steward of those resources and make as much of it available to the user as possible. The OS should be very reluctant to include functionality that increases how much a system uses while "idle."
In the Windows mental model, the computer's resources are available to whatever Microsoft thinks they're useful for. It's good to leave some for the user, but Microsoft will take more if it thinks it is a good idea.
Apple is on this continuum, too, and I think they're more at the Windows end of the spectrum. They're definitely bumping elbows, if they're not sitting in the same chair. If Apple thinks something resource hungry like Spotlight is a good idea, they will bundle it.
What got me thinking about this was thinking about the resources it probably frees up to completely rip #Copilot out of #windows11
https://www.howtogeek.com/how-to-rip-out-copilot-from-windows-11/
Maybe they used Cop pilot to update the UX.
If it's confusing enough, maybe you will ask cop pilot to open apps.
If #Microsoft hadn't fired #Clippy, but had instead placed him in a role where he could flourish, he would not have trained on all that data to become #copilot. Clippy is on a vengeance tour.

Hey Guys, gals, people and pets, Satya Nadella is getting tired of people calling AI Slop output AI Slop. If everyone can stop that's be great as it is upsetting Microslops share holders.
Don't start calling Microslop Microslop or use the #microslop tag as it might burst the AI bubble and then Microslop might have to take SlopPilot out of Windows. As you know, that would be terrible.

Microsoft rush to add AI to everything they have failed or ignored making existing products better.
As I am forced to use #O365 here is my wish list for enhancements.
1. The ability to schedule a follow up meeting from an existing meeting in Calendar without having to recreate the whole invite from scratch.
2. Add notes to emails. We have a shared mailbox and I would love the ability to add notes to a email for my colleagues or keep a note on the email for later reference.
3. Outlook client that has ZERO problems updating messages. My inbox is not even that full and the client hangs when updating folders and messages. It is the bane of my existence.
Someone close to me purchased a new computer just recently. His previous computer was Windows 10, which he liked. I warned him that Windows 11 was a different beast and he could expect a lot more spying, copilot in everything, less customization, and even ads in the start menu.
Apparently he agreed with me and he has started testing the Linux Mint Live Image today. He seems to like it. He said it was much easier to use than he expected and it is very fast.
It makes me smile that another person I know has found their way to Linux.

Bought 5 tickets for the PowerBall last night and decided to experiment this morning by asking both #Copilot (Consumer) and #ChatGPT to check my numbers. I gave them the same prompt - "Did any of these numbers win last night's PowerBall" accompanied by a photo of my ticket.
Copilot didn't correctly OCR the ticket getting several of the numbers wrong. ChatGPT accurately read the ticket. Sadly we didn't win.
Disappointing that Copilot wasn't able to accurately read the numbers, though.

In fact I think "security" is really about control, and nowadays when I encounter a security challenge I think of it in terms of who is trying to control my behavior and to what ends. I think it's clear by now that many internet "security" controls, at least those deployed by large tech companies, are not good faith efforts to protect users; that's a secondary concern.

When we use generative AI, we consent to the appropriation of our intellectual property by data scrapers. We stuff the pockets of oligarchs with even more money. We abet the acceleration of a social media gyre that everyone admits is making life worse. We accept the further degradation of an already degraded educational system. We agree that we would rather deplete our natural resources than make our own art or think our own thoughts. We dig ourselves deeper into crises that have been made worse by technology, from the erosion of electoral democracy to the intensification of climate change. We condone platforms that not only urge children to commit suicide, they instruct them on how to tie the noose. We hand over our autonomy, at the very moment of emerging American fascism.Yes +1.

Note: there should be three (3) pound signs between ".com" and "CopilotCommandCenterButton". For some reason my fediverse server does not display all three.

This post is not an invitation to criticize me for using a Microsoft product or to suggest an alternative.
Programming properly should be regarded as an activity by which the programmers form or achieve a certain kind of insight, a theory, of the matters at hand. This suggestion is in contrast to what appears to be a more common notion, that programming should be regarded as a production of a program and certain other texts.Peter Naur in Programming As Theory Building, 1985.
A computer program is not source code. It is the combination of source code, related documents, and the mental understanding developed by the people who work with the code and documents regularly. In other words a computer program is a relational structure that necessarily includes human beings.
The output of a generative AI model alone cannot be a computer program in this sense no matter how closely that output resembles the source code part of some future possible computer program. That the output could be developed into a computer program over time, given the appropriate resources to do so, does not make it equivalent to a computer program.
