When I read this crap, all I can think is that yeah backlash is growing because the forced implementation is growing. Another useless sentiment-based article.
Movie recommendations is my biggest thing, personally.
And lots of other purposes. Just because a ton of people are misusing this tool and treating it like GAI doesn’t mean that it isn’t a useful tool. Even something as simple as proofreading a letter has massive utility for some people.
Definitely proof reading. Especially for people who can barely write intelligibly. They can check themselves if the meaning is still correct and they will learn grammar from the process.
This is one reason I’m so glad we devs can install linux at work. I have LibreOffice installed sure, but if I need to use the Microsoft Office suite for some reason, it all works great as webpages in librewolf!
It still works for me at least? In the office options, there’s a Copilot section with a single “Enable Copilot” checkbox. You’ll need to disable it per app though.

Lets use LLMs for things LLMs are useful for. It is not a panacea, and it is not appropriate for every use case
Yeah, LLMs are interesting tech products to play with and find some niche uses for.
But for the love of god they are not “prop up the entire stock market and numerous multi-trillion-dollar companies indefinitely” good!
What is it useful for? I actually have a hard time finding a use for it… Its alright at book recommendations, sometimes.

I just got the notification today when opening Office programs that copilot was there
all the help threads about how to turn it off have out of date info. seems like you can no longer disable it in Excel/Word/PowerPoint
You can disable it with the uninstall function.
Microsoft Works 2000 still works fine.
This comment is fantastically chaotic and I love it so much.
RIP Microsoft Works, what a legend.
The disabling process is kinda convoluted.

yeah that’s the checkbox that doesn’t exist for me in the copilot section that also doesn’t exist for me
