This is ridiculous. Have people seen the recent AI code review from Audacity?? This whole AI bubble needs to burst already.

Got me curious, spill the tea sister!
To sum up, its the tale as old as time (~2023), an llm being entirely useless for a task that could be done by other tooling perfectly.
Edit: a word

Using AI isn't optional? How about you review me on the results I produce instead of the tools I use to produce them?
Results are nice, but shortsightedly juicing the appearance of shareholder value for a single quarter is forever... Somehow.
They must really want their workforce to be less efficient while dramatically lowering quality and security across the board.
They are banking on the AI will eventually be smart enough that it will replace the workers that fed it.

except programmers are gonna continue with what they were already doing, at most putting a script on copilot to get the metrics
don't forget that if you don't turn in the project in time you're fired, the issues always get thrown at the coder, it's never the company's fault

Apparently no longer optional for their customers either, based on how hard they are pushing it in Office 365, sorry Microsoft 365, no sorry Microsoft 365 Copilot.
The latest change of dumping you into a Copilot chat immediately on login and hiding all the actually useful stuff is just desperation incarnate.
The process to log in to the online portal of Outlook is so bad it's crossed into comical territory. So much friction, only to shunt you to a full screen ~~clippy~~ copilot page.
I'd be curious to know what the usage statistics are for that page. Like, what could a person possibly accomplish there?
How very corporate of them: people don't want to do something? Screw finding out why, let's make it mandatory and poof, problem solved!
While true; do curl http://copilot/?query=what+is+the+time; sleep 10; done
Bet the AI can’t see through this.
Need to throw in a randomizer:
while true; do
curl http://copilot/?query=what+is+the+time+in+RANDOM+seconds
sleep 10; done
done

Yuuuup this is my company too. They’re monitoring our GH Copilot /Cursor usage and they’re going to apply to our performance reviews
Malicious compliance time, full-on Vibe coding, just accept all changes. Who cares about optimisation, readability, or documentation. You're using AI anything goes.
In the list of things nobody cares about, you forgot "actually do what's asked". Use these tool for a very short while and be amazed at how bad it is to do things that are extremely well known and documented.

At your next job interview ask them if they are results driven or methodology driven. "If I were to take twice as long to do something by using a poorly designed tool will I be rewarded or punished?"
As a heavy AI user on a daily basis...Copilot is hands down one of, if not the worst, in existence.
This will not end well for them.

Copilot is literally ChatGPT
It can't be literally chatgpt and use different letters. One of them has an O.
I asked chatgpt (because this shitpost needs more AI), and it said:
So while their names are different, the core AI technology is the same! It's like having two different brands (say, Ford and Tesla) both using electric motors—the motor is the same technology, just in different vehicles.
But comparing suicidal cars to a Ford is total baloney, so ChatGPT is full of shit.
It's been an honour to waste your time and 72L of water to get the AI to shitpost.

Fine do whatever you want to your shit company stop forcing me to use copilot on everything. This is worse than the failed clippy
Can't wait for code quality to drop, work to become more inefficiwnt and microsoft ditching AI
Corporate monopoly with overpriced products doing corporate shit
It's called dog-slopping
Dog-fooding, but instead of food, it's a dog eating its own vomit.
Start using ai to write all your mails and communication with managers. Turn it to LinkedIn max
I wonder, did they have to do this when search engines became a thing 🤔
You don't need to wonder, you can just Bing™ it!
Translation: you will now train your eventual replacement.
Being judged by a fancy magic 8 ball, the future keeps getting better and better.
Windows is already garbage when humans are codeding it.
It’s the same in Amazon software development. We have like 3 different AI tools. I enjoy it for unit tests and predicting the next two lines of a simple thing, but it’s not going to refactor our codebase.
Microsoft is cooked.
this makes me even more excited for my plans to switch to linux. I'm gonna have to go find a good backup method soon!
I feel like this is going to cause so many problems in the near future. They’re not ready for it and they don’t even know.
The only hope for Microsoft is if Xbox takes over all of Microsoft and transforms the whole company
Sorry best we can do is have the marketing department take over XBox and now it's just a logo they license out.
