You mean I shouldn't replace every instance of Ai in my sentences with slop?.

The funny thing is, I just did.

Remember when they wanted us not to call it the Xbone? Peppridge Farm remembers.

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

hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as "cognitive amplifier tools."

Ok well this is a simple train of cause and effect that even Mr Nadella should be able to understand.

Make an actual tool that is so damn good and so universally useful that early adopters who pay attention would consider calling it a "cognitive amplifier."

Keep in mind that I have seen the term "second brain" used for note taking apps, usually easy to use and sync between devices. (I'm using AnyType free)

That is how poorly the "market" views your "tech demo with a price tag" product! It loses the brain title to a small collection of conveniently stored text files. Congratulations.

Yeah, well I want the Microsoft CEO to stop calling slop "AI".

Cool, he can push it more to PCs and make me happier with my Macs. (Our computers at work run Windows 11 Enterprise, they miss a lot of this shit. A recent update blocked Copilot and I'm okay with that.)

That said, I fucked around a bit with Copilot at work and I think it's interesting? I don't trust it but I've asked it a few dumb questions when I was bored.

Slop.

I made a garbage generator, and ppl won't stop calling the stuff it generates garbage. :'(

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

No problem, I can be nice.

Let's help him and call it bubble.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Microsoft is slop

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Shit it is.

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

I bet they'd like me stop calling windows shit too. Not gonna happen

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Dude just needs to admit he loves slop like the greedy little piggy he is.

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

Oh, I guess we'll call it AI crap then.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Latest version of FireFox already uses AI for tab suggestions. Privacy concern much?
