Ai cum stain

And here I was thinking that AI provides MS with cover for their sloppy OS bugs and lack of innovation or even bug fixes in their other products (Word's automatically generated table of authorities feature has been a buggy piece of trash since it came out and fixing it is obviously not on the agenda since it is really only used by people like lawyers; let's not even get into the random behavior that occurs when pasting or moving images).

What’s that, Mr Microslop man? How about fixing the crap you call your products first, before telling others what words they can or cannot use

Satya Nadella is human slop

And it reminds me of his fling with the "Metaverse" of previous years — another tech buzzword buried in the graveyard of overhype alongside things like NFTs and LaserDisc.

I was with you until you hated on LaserDisc. In the years before DVD existed it was the best quality home video available. Yes, it was expensive, but it did something people wanted with no other substitute apart from having your own cinema grade 35mm projector, sound system, and access to 35mm (or 70mm for that matter) print of a movie.

Well shit, when I give it clear instructions it just up and forgets, instead making up its own reality what SHOULD we call it?

[–] HisArmsOpen@crust.piefed.social 6 points 10 months ago

On this news alone, I will cease use of the word 'slop' in any scenario....... Except where it will be mandatory in and sentence, question or response about MicroSlop.

(Eww, MicroSlop sounds disgusting too).

Sloppy sloppy slop

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

Dear Satya: We're still gonna call it "AI slop", whether you like it or NOT. Oh and all your wealth should be given to the poor and pious. Seriously!

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Stop funding AI that produces slop and I'll stop calling it that.

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 5 points 10 months ago

No, I don’t think I will

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

That's a no from me dawg.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I could call Windows slop instead?

I thought maybe it was some at least vague acknowledgement of the LLMs need to get better to stop being called slop...

Nope, it was that society needs to get over it... I don't understand why he thought that would be the approach to try to endear AI with the general populace...

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Then stop making AI that churns out slop. Or, if that's too hard, stop shoving AI down our throat!

[–] texture@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

cant believe how long i put up with MS's bullshit before finally just never booting it at all anymore.

being on team penuin is nice, as i dont typically need to worry about anything this bozo might say :)
