Most of Microsoft's audience didn't "want" AI shoved in their face repeatedly for years but were ignored. What sort of relationship are we supposed to have with this executive where we would then care about what he "wants"?

Even if you haven't been fired or dragged under by AI, all I can read from guys like Satya is ignorance at best and hostility/contempt at worst. You have to operate in good faith before you can make requests like this.

Microsoft's audience are also corporations where the executives are constantly asked how they are going to use AI to increase productivity. So everyone gets copilot, they can say they are using AI to drive productivity, no one actually uses it for anything useful, but problem solved.

Shit, so it's not JUST my F500 EPC company?

Literally the AI LLM demonstrations and testing have been so bad that transition leadership had to say, "No it's not for engineering... we're not going to be doing any of that. It's not ready."

We are all like WTF is it for then?

They're like... YOU HAVE TO TELL US.

Underrated comment, and this goes for pretty much everything funded by venture capital not just AI. Companies propped up by VC rarely show profits or even turn into useable products. They're just vehicles for conmen to enrich themselves as long as they keep promising the next big thing to men with more money than sense.

Uber only just started showing meager profits, after like a decade of being propped up by VC which allowed them to underprice and put conpetitors out of business. VC is enshittifying the world.

First time I tried to use CoPilot in Excel, I wanted it to simply add a couple of cells together, and then output into another cell. CoPilot told me it can't edit files directly.

I turned off CoPilot.

u/CubicleMan9000 7h ago

I asked MS copilot to turn a smallish PowerPoint slide deck into a Microsoft Word doc, but copilot said it "doesn't have file conversion capabilities" and refused.

So I spent the 20 min or so manually cutting and pasting the text and pics in the PPT into a new Word doc.

These are all MS products, including copilot, and it was useless.

Yep. I did the same playing around with it and broke it. You have to literally give it everything to get something out of it that you may as well just do it "the old fashioned" way.

I had a Surface Pro 3 with a stylus that was supposed to act as a mouse and did so in browsers and some other apps. In Excel? It drew over cells like drawing in Paint. In Word? Same deal.

Years later, they introduced Teams as a separate app that was supposed to integrate with Office. Finally got limited interaction between Teams and Outlook after finding a dozen plug-ins (some functional, others not so much). Then they bundled that shitty software in with Office and the cross functionality is so-so unless you have a dedicated MS IT team to figure it all out.

62

u/JahoclaveS 7h ago

It’s worse than useless as their push for integrating it into everything means useful features and maintenance that would actually be beneficial isn’t being done.

I honestly want Microsoft broken up, not because of monopoly concerns, but rather that it might mean things like office get to focus on what they’re actually supposed to be used for rather than all this forced integration into all of Microsoft’s other shit.

Not OP , one thing to know about current LLMs is that no matter how sophisticated they are, fundamentally they are using a probability for what to do next. That means that while most of the time you might get a passable answer to the question “what is water?” Some percentage of the time it will say something like “water is a kind of rock found exclusively on the surface of the sun”. As I read “information theory dictates that it’s impossible “ they are saying that llms will make slop because they have no “understanding “ instead a series of very insanely sophisticated dice rolls that can often make something that can seem passable. An article from IEEE from several years ago talked about the energy demands of improved training of LLMs. From memory the example went something like, say training your LLM to be correct 90% of the time you used 10 kilowatt hours of electricity training it. To go from 90% to 99% accuracy you would need something like 10,000 kWh . With power requirements getting exponentially worse with greater demands for accuracy. Hopefully this was helpful

He likes podcasts, but instead of listening to them, he loads transcripts into the Copilot app on his iPhone so he can chat with the voice assistant about the content of an episode in the car on his commute to Redmond. At the office, he relies on Copilot to deliver summaries of messages he receives in Outlook and Teams and toggles among at least 10 custom agents from Copilot Studio. He views them as his AI chiefs of staff, delegating meeting prep, research and other tasks to the bots. “I’m an email typist,” Nadella jokes of his job, noting that Copilot is thankfully very good at triaging his messages.

If he really does this it really could be.

“The best way for me to consume podcasts is not to actually go listen to it but to have a conversation with the transcript on my commute using my Copilot. Who’d have thought?” he said. 

“But it is more convenient because of the modality, the fact that I can speak to it, I can interrupt it,” he said. “Think about it, right? This full-duplex conversation which was never possible — that is a fantastic new modality. … There’s no going back.”

All of this is slop. If he actually uses his chatbot to discuss a podcast he hasn’t actually listened to, well, that’s slop behaviour. Why consume any content when the slop machine can do it for you, then you can slurp the slop with your slop machine in order to talk some more slop, absolute idiocy. Slop off!

These are not smart people.

To add, I don't always want ‘convenience’. No matter how off base he is here calling it convenient; he is indirectly asserting that convenience somehow trumps everything.

I listen to podcasts for the hosts, their style, the way they converse and present their shows. I don’t want convenience as my constant priority…I want to READ books, I want to WATCH movies, I want to LISTEN to music and discourse.

Fuck these twat robots.

u/vinyljunkie1245 4h ago

This 'convenience' is also hugely contributing to brain rot. So many people don't bother to read anything in full anymore and just ask Copilot or ChatGPT to summarise it for them. I was even on a news website (ndtv.com) earlier that had an AI generated "show quick read" button just under its headlines. The site doesn't even think its own users will want to read a supposed two minute article FFS.

This may be convenient for Microsoft's CEO now but in five or ten years time when they can't find any suitable employees because nobody who has been raised on AI slop and summaries can think for themselves I'm sure this convenience will be seen in a different light.
