I work in a small IT business, where I regularly setup notebooks or pc for the customer and install the software they need for work.

I always remove copilot from the Taskbar and the startmenu. Also usually install firefox with ublock origin, in the hope that they will try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.

Its not much, but it honest work.

try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.

Why not just give FF the chrome theme, change the icon to chrome and strip out Edge? (If you can still strip edge out, it was a PITA on 10, I can't imagine it's gotten any better on 11l

how do you remove it?

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 21 points 9 hours ago

I agree with Ryan Gosling on this.

[–] mech@feddit.org 22 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Why is Ryan Gosling in this meme?

[–] jojowakaki@lemmy.world 23 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It was generated using copilot, for the added irony.

it’s kinda like rain, on your wedding day

So.. uh.. laptops have a copilot key on the keyboard now..

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago

Can you rebind it?

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 11 points 9 hours ago

It's exactly where my control key used to be, so I often hit that button and nothing happens, unless Im using a Windows via AWS and suddenly I keep getting copilot springing up.

It's a really user hostile move knowing that people will accidentally hit that button

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

So now I have to turn off the freaking Windows key and a copilot key.

Perfectly reasonable

[–] khanh@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 hours ago

And that's why the internet is addicted to old Thinkpads. I actively avoid these "Copilot+ PCs" with the Copilot key when I shop for laptops, and you should too.

My work pushes it on us heavily. I TRY to use it. It’s just so terrible. Any other AI is way more functional and provides better responses. I do IT work. Maybe other fields have a better response to copilot?

my colleague uses chat gpt to run statistical reports. i don't verify if the data outputted is correct, but i'm going to assume that everything he produces from now on is factually incorrect.

My company forces me to use it. It’s shit. I asked for Claude. And this is what they give me. It can’t even parse the file I send it. It forgets I uploaded the file after about 16 seconds and asks for me to upload it again. It’s amazing how bad it is.

[–] sip@programming.dev 1 points 6 hours ago

you can use the underlying model, you just have to rotate the key every 30 mins, but that's scriptable.

[–] mcv@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

My company pushes it too. It's useful for some things, but you really have to be aware of its limitations. The same is true of Claude of course, but I have less problems letting Claude touch my code. The free GPT models work better as an interactive rubber duck or an interactive encyclopedia.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

i think a rubber duck might be a better rubber duck.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Rubber duck can be used in the tub, so it's the clear winner!

Refusing AI by using an AI generated meme?

But why?

Get the original picture instead of an AI manipulated one.

This deserves every upvote the top-level post got.

This is one of my favourites, thanks for posting the original!

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 89 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you. Fuck whatever AI slop OP posted.

[–] MrLLM@ani.social 11 points 15 hours ago

I wouldn’t fuck it tbh.

it is considered rude to show ai slop to other humans

Fake Ryan Gosling sez "HET!" to machine-generated memes.

I get to participate in a project to see how well-adopted AI tools are in our company... with the intent to see where we should invest in more promotion and schooling in how useful and valuable they can be.

Didn't have the heart to tell the manager requesting my assistance that I'm also one of the non-adopters and no amount of promotion or schooling offer is likely to change that. They're lower management anyway, can't change the decisions made higher up, and I'm not gonna pick fights and sour working relations where there's nothing to win.
