You don't get to complain about the slop when you built the slop factory.

He's probably only complaining because it's affecting him personally. If it was only destroying everyone else's lives he would be happy to be an executioner. After all, he's just following orders.

...And mandated their employees use it.

Now he's crying they did what they were told

Remember, though: Microsoft invented the slop factory when they created Microsoft Office.

Sending useless documents back and forth via Outlook predates AI by decades.

I thought they admitted defeat, embracing the uselessness and futility of nearly all office work when they released SharePoint, but I guess they're still just getting started 🤷

Ahh the good old days when no mid size corp bothered to hire an onprem Sharepoint dev so the install just went unused

And demanded everyone use the factory or lose their jobs.
