      I’m convinced Windows 11 has been capturing data for later Recall processing from day one, and that’s why the performance is so bad on the same hardware compared to Windows 10.

    I might have to switch to Linux soon. But I have no idea how to yet. This is forcing me to. Fucking hell. I pay for a product and they still insist on invading my privacy. Fuck American companies that do this shit man.

    Mildly approaching an actually useful AI in the stupidest way possible.

    I don’t need an AI shortcut in Excel that is just a chatbot. If it could actually perform complex redundant tasks, then it would be useful.

    “Copilot, please create 3 charts of the most important data and create a Powerpoint with animations to present it.”

    Until it can do things like that, it’s useless to me.

    Honest question: what do people actually use this for?

      It’s called recall or something. If you are trying to find something you saw before but can’t remember, it remembers for you.

      Copilot, what was the video on Pornhub I saw a few months ago, with the brunette who looks like Jessica from accounting? And she had like 4 guys in her at once and was eating spaghetti?

        What’s the opposite of “concentrating on remembering something strengthens neuron pathways”?

      I’ve found it useful in providing scripts for me that I can use as templates. You still have to fix a lot of stuff as it makes crazy assumptions and hallucinates a lot but it’s useful.

    I’m not impressed with Copilot. Today I tried to have an Excell file translated and it just couldn’t do it. Just a single column, simple text and nope, couldn’ do it. Paste the text of a cell right into Copilot worked fine, but I wasn’t going to do it manualy with the 13000 rows. Tried the same with ChatGPT and that didn’t work either.

      AIs are only useful to do “approximate” dumb tasks, they can’t do anything precise so you are better looking at how to do this with pandas to automate things.

        That’s the funny thing. It did give me the Python code to do it. In the end I just used Google translate and copy-paste to do it. But I can’t set up a python enviroment on my work computer (without admin access).

          try programming on your browser instead

          Fyi, the Python installer does allow you to install Python without admin access iirc.

    Time to switch to Windows I guess. Bye bye Linux!
