"You're fired!"

"Oh dear. Why?"

"For doing the job i hired you to do instead of spending more of my money on tokens to have an LLM do it for you!"

I actually found a positive use today, I needed a corporate bullshit intro to a document as to why the company is great and how we will apply the content. In under a second I had perfect corporate bullshit that to be honest sounded good. If I was to do this myself it would have taken ages as I don't speak corporate bullshit, and I'm really poor a generating it. Thanks ai 👍

This is why management insists it's useful. If you're only aiming to make some plausible-sounding bullshit, it's the perfect tool. Unfortunately it's only useful to the people whose jobs are mainly bullshit.

Absolutely determined to ensure that Copilot is a commercial success, at least until they can find something else to distract with.
