It's the way this shit is just forced, almost inescapably, onto daily life, when it is clearly not ready for such.

I rebooted and Windows 11 put an AI copilot button beside the start button without asking. The first thing I asked it was how to turn it off, and it answered incorrectly. Twice. Then I asked it who I was married to and it hallucinated a new job for Jenn, a son, and a dog - with fake references

The only way it could be worse is if the AI formatted the writing like Donald Trump writes tweets.

I truly dread this. I come up as the first result for "Kevin Wayne Williams", but I share a name with an arsonist, a couple of murderers, and a half-dozen child molesters, as well as a partial match with a famous serial killer. I'm not about to install Windows 11 just to find out.

Good thing MS just hired *checks notes* ai cult leader Sam Altman to be in charge of your desktop

they can't have it ready without forcing people to use it. its the same that happens with auto pilots, they'd need way too many years if they dont making it massive

It has the same level of stupid/confident that the people who are pushing it do.

It’s so uninteresting. And I say this as someone who is fascinated with technology. “Oh, these LLMs can produce large volumes of bullshit!” Whoop-dee-do.

I removed it from my task bar so fast like i looked up articles how to do it immediately

What's that? Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the quietly whirring fan of my simple-to-install, free-as-in-freedom Linux laptop that does not push advertising from or collect telemetry for Microsoft.

It is bewildering how much they're pushing the clearly exceedingly flawed Fantasy World Generator. And companies are going "it's great, we only have to spend days fact checking or printing corrections to stave off inevitable lawsuits but at least we don't have to pay for a writer!"

it's enraging! bad enough it's out there for people to find if they want to - but to force it on everyone's desktops? what BS
