I get a twitch every time I see the damn sparkle icon/emoji.

Copilot: Summarize this email? The email: 3PM works for me.

I've yet to see AI for any of the things I'd actually like it for. It'd be good if I could use it as a natural language compatible filter for my feeds, for example. I'm interested in gaming news but have zero interest in a number of popular genres, settings, and so forth. Having an AI look at the feed and be able to spot the rough shape of stuff I don't care about and throw it away would be useful to me and mistakes wouldn't matter.

Similarly I could do with something on the desktop that helps me keep my files tidy. Learn the way I'd like to do things and help me keep things sorted. If unsure, learn when I'm likely to be willing to answer questions and ask for clarification then. Worst case scenario it misfiles something and there's an interface to ask it "the file about the thing - where is that? It's not where I would expect".

Instead I've got shit like "let us summarise email for you". If the email is long enough that I'd need a summary then it's too important to be entrusted to the Hallucinatron 5000. If it's short enough that it would be safe then there's zero time saved for me. A few sentences? What an insurmountable challenge - help me, Twatbot 2.0.

Work's requiring we use it. I give it lists to turn into comma separated lists. How thrilling. The stakeholders will be pleased

I'm a band nerd and the mouthpiece is on the side and won't make a sound in that configuration.

I go out of my way to boycot anything that aggressively pushes AI. Companies are so fucking desperate to throw people under the bus and replace their jobs with AI these days. I've seen literal job application forms asking you to mention how you use AI in your life, at this point in life I'm looking forward to WW3

The extent of my use of AI: I downloaded and installed Deep Seek locally and played with it a bit. I also installed Forge AI locally. I didn't see anything of interest to me and removed it. There's no way I'm making an account on any of the online AI sites. I'll leave that to others.

I hate ai. it's the worst thing to happen to my writing. I used to like writing, but the ai is better than me and much faster, and it hits the dopamine as if I did it myself. fuck everyone pushing ai, it's evil.

They're literally using rainbow coloring and sparklies to try and catch your attention.

That should tell you everything you need to know.

It's a funny one. I forced it to give links to the information it produces, so I can check. There have been a number of 404s in those links.

I got a free three month trial for Google's AI Pro plan, and Google wouldn't shut up about the fact that I had the offer waiting, so I gave it a shot. It's been more annoying than anything else. Gemini made me feel icky when I tried it, and now I get irritating popups asking me to use an AI tool every single time I go to type something in a Doc or Sheet

My brother in Christ, I am misusing Google Sheets to plan my character builds in Final Fantasy Tactics. I have entered all the information in the sheet by hand, and it is mostly text. This information cannot be put into a graph of any kind. I do not need your help with anything.

I kinda wanna ask ChatGPT what combination of sodas I need to mix in order to physically change into my fursona just to see what it does. And I mean... What if worked? 🤣

I’d rather drill a new hole in my head tbh. It’ll make me about the same level of intelligent.
