Microsoft, after shoving Copilot into every product they make:
Alt: Copilot after dropping your production database
I’m not entertained by it because you are forcing me to use it and because you don’t respect my choice, NO MEANS NO!!
Does Microsoft understand consent?
A. Yes
B. Remind me in 3 days
Bill Gates is in the Epstein files so no consent isn’t a known term to him so his company follows the same rules.
Hilarious what’s become of everyone’s favorite example of a “good billionaire”.
Funny what happens when you pay a lot of people to talk about how nice you are.
If you pay enough people you might even get people to believe in things that are benefitial to you.
Don’t forget the 3rd option “No (but we’ll ignore it because you didn’t really mean it)”
Also the ‘remember this selection’ check box will not work.
So it should be banned by corporate IT departments. Like they do with solitaire or minesweeper.
Imagine thinking this will hold up in a court of law
It probably will in the same way Fox news claims they are an entertainment channel.
This should be written in bold on first page in first paragraph.
This should have never been born, let alone jammed into every possible crevice of the OS. Microslop needs to die and take windows fucking with it.
As many other things shouldn’t have ever existed. And yet, here we are…
Greed can produce fascinating monsters. Especially paired with low intelligence and morale.
I suppose watching my coworkers have meltdowns when it breaks something they’re working on is pretty entertaining
One of my bosses sent out an unvalidated datasheet to a supplier last week. the supplier wasted a few hours trying to figure out the data, then we had a meeting to go over how the data made no sense. probably wasted about 20 man hours on this, three of them internal. mind, we’re busy as fuck right now and can’t afford to waste time redoing work.
that was definitely the right choice, though. had to be, he’s the boss. the AI guy.
unironically, this was what i mostly used AI for(its not good for anything useful).
right? it’s really mostly a gimmick that is funny for like a few days and then you move on
I use nano banana instead of GIFs. It’s fine to know you’re destroying the worlds climate and leaving small American towns without drinking water for a brief smile from your colleges or a reaxtu emoji.

This is the “for-individuals” TOU/TOS, their enterprise version probably has something more stock friendly in it. Don’t care enough to look for and read through that though.
Just like Fox News!
Funny thing, Google is doing tv advertising in Brazil, selling the idea of gemini being little more than a toy to make funny pictures and videos
Well, goddamn it. I am entertained. I guess that means AI works after all.
At least I have to give them credit for using plain language rather than circuitous legalese:
