    It’s the same in Amazon software development. We have like 3 different AI tools. I enjoy it for unit tests and predicting the next two lines of a simple thing, but it’s not going to refactor our codebase.

    Using AI isn’t optional? How about you review me on the results I produce instead of the tools I use to produce them?

    This is ridiculous. Have people seen the recent AI code review from Audacity?? This whole AI bubble needs to burst already.

    While true; do curl http://copilot/?query=what+is+the+time; sleep 10; done

    Bet the AI can’t see through this.

      Ironically enough that’s is exactly the kind of seemingly “simple” question a 4 years old could answer… but LLMs can’t.

      Asked my better half to test DeepSeek locally few months ago and they, without trying to “trick” it (as I would have tried) genuinely tried “What time is it in Sri Lanka?”. That made me smile because I was rather sure there was no way the model could answer that. It would need to know the current time on any time zone then, if it’s not in Sri Lanka already (which it wasn’t on my local system) would have to convert it. That would be very basic arithmetic (that some 4 years old could also do) but not “just” spitting back words related to the question.

      Guess what… it failed exactly as expected. The model replied back “information” (which is being generous for a string of words arguably related to the topic, which was mostly about Sri Lanka, not time) and yet was basically irrelevant and thus useless.

      So… yes I’m not actually sure CoPilot could even help there unless there is a lot of custom made handling of this kind of queries upstream!

    As a heavy AI user on a daily basis…Copilot is hands down one of, if not the worst, in existence.

    This will not end well for them.

      If I ask copilot to help write a power automate script or similar, I guarantee it will not work. It won’t make sense. And if I do it from within power automate, it wants to replace what I already have there. It’s a mess.

      If I pull up chatgot on my phone (because it’s blacklisted at work) I will get very clear, step by step instructions that are usually good enough or occasionally not correct but close enough that I can tweak it back on course.

      Have found this too.

      We were only allowed to use Copilot at my last job, ChatGPT + the others were all blacklisted.

      We received SO many tickets from users across the organisation (including IT) requesting access to ChatGPT.

          I asked chatgpt (because this shitpost needs more AI), and it said:

          So while their names are different, the core AI technology is the same! It’s like having two different brands (say, Ford and Tesla) both using electric motors—the motor is the same technology, just in different vehicles.

          But comparing suicidal cars to a Ford is total baloney, so ChatGPT is full of shit.

          It’s been an honour to waste your time and 72L of water to get the AI to shitpost.

      Sorry best we can do is have the marketing department take over XBox and now it’s just a logo they license out.
