Someone finally listend to their lawyers
Theo whole OS is garbage. Used to be at least functional, now it’s an ad infested AI slop fest.
they probably had Copilot write the new TOS that included this line and since nobody who uses AI reads the final output, nobody caught it.
they never expected consumers to actually read the TOS.
Where I live, high ranking bank employees are required to use it for serious use and important advice.
Twist the reality all you want, copilot manages my whole life.
Ah, the famous “Fox News” defense of claiming you’re an entertainment medium but you should totally trust it.
Meanwhile, watching the NCAA game yesterday I watched multiple commercials from Microsoft stating copilot as something to use in your daily work place and work flow. And I didn’t see any disclaimer that AI was for entertaining purposes only and that they weren’t liable for killing your business.
fuck you mean, youre pushing ai as if its usable on every corner of the OS, and NOW you announced it to be unreliable?
Deploy everywhere, trust nowhere. Bold strategy.
Standard fart operating procedure
For entertainment in Excel…
There are some real sickos out there man
If it works, it’s thanks to us. If it doesn’t, it’s your fault.
A salesman for an AI consulting company made the comment that we don’t expect perfection from humans, so why should we expect it from AI? He was smug about it, too, like it was his big gotcha. Joke’s on him, I’m the one that talked the bosses out of spending money with them.
“Is your AI accountable for mistakes? All these idiots are…”
That’s such a bad argument too. The whole point of technology is to help perfect the output of humans. Why would we buy technology that is known to not do that
“You can get pretty good results most of the time and save money on labor!” Not like our whole business model is focused on expertise and compliance or anything. Surely our clients won’t mind a few little mistakes here and there, as a treat.
The neat part is that we can’t even claim that they’re little mistakes or that there’s few of them.
we don’t expect perfection from humans, so why should we expect it from AI?
If we can’t expect better from an AI than from a human, why should we use the AI (other than so you don’t have to pay workers)?
Like there’s a big shortage of unemployed humans
Unless you plan on enslaving them, please refer to my previous comment RE: paying humans.
I think there’s an important semantic difference between worse performance and correctness. Tools, like AI, can underperform when compared to humans and still be very useful and worth investing into, but that’s only as long as they perform correctly.

Yeah, the ‘but’ is the entire problem. In my experience, LLM chatbots are like if you made a 12yo a junior admin and fed them speed. Very quick to give you a confident answer, but wrong more often than not. The worst part is a lot of what I’m doing is coding, and it gets basic commands and syntax wrong
Ah yes copilot in the app everybody thinks of for entertainment…notepad.
Yes, that’s why it’s in Office
for entertainment purposes only, not serious use — firm pushing AI hard
Reminds me of these Autopiloting cars LOL
They, do it all by themselves, fully and autonomously and are pushed so hard as well, but you may not rely on them, never take them for serious.
Surprise twist: I don’t and won’t rely on it for jack shit
