    When I read this crap, all I can think is that yeah backlash is growing because the forced implementation is growing. Another useless sentiment-based article.

      Lets use LLMs for things LLMs are useful for. It is not a panacea, and it is not appropriate for every use case

        Yeah, LLMs are interesting tech products to play with and find some niche uses for.

        But for the love of god they are not “prop up the entire stock market and numerous multi-trillion-dollar companies indefinitely” good!

      I just got the notification today when opening Office programs that copilot was there

      all the help threads about how to turn it off have out of date info. seems like you can no longer disable it in Excel/Word/PowerPoint

        You can disable it with the uninstall function.

        Microsoft Works 2000 still works fine.

          This is one reason I’m so glad we devs can install linux at work. I have LibreOffice installed sure, but if I need to use the Microsoft Office suite for some reason, it all works great as webpages in librewolf!
