The Chief Sloperator striktes again
So far on my work computer I've had a policy to indiscriminately uninstall anything that says copilot. If I hadn't seen this post I may have nuked it, then spent the afternoon trying to figure out where excel went.
Honestly the hardest part of “productivity” is keeping up with the product names. 😅 I just hope the rename doesn’t break links/docs and that licensing/features stay crystal clear for users.

It all kind of makes sense if you look at it from an investors' perspective, which is the only one that really matters to CEOs. You can do whatever you want, but unless a company is an AI company, you can't reach a stratospheric PE ratio and your stock stays "low." You convince investors that you are an AI-first company, and your stock can break free of its shackles and reach its full potential!
All for the relatively cheap price of slapping two letters on everything, AI.
I haven't used any of that for decades. None of it is necessary ever.
Too funny. My last boss hated how much I bitched and complained about Microslop. Now I'm certain he's bitching. Glad I dumped M$, what a shit company with shit products.
