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

That's adorable

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).

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

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.

Satya Nadella is human slop

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...

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

I could call Windows slop instead?

No, I don’t think I will

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

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.

That's a no from me dawg.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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