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

The funny thing is, I just did.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

That's a no from me dawg.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Slop is slop, but now I'll be less critical in my evaluation of AI output and more willing to call something slop I might not have otherwise. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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 :)

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.

Microslop. There, see, I did it.

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.

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

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

Shit it is.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago

the Barbar.ai Slopiand effect.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Microsoft is slop

[–] D1re_W0lf@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago

Slop.

~~He’s not my boss~~

[–] glance@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

No problem, I can be nice.

Let's help him and call it bubble.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 2 points 3 months ago

I mean, it is mostly slop.

Too bad. It is slop. All versions of it are crappy, stupid, and give erroneous answers to even the most obviously simple questions.
