This will only last until the hate fades away. These big companies are not your friends. They'll jump in on generative AI the moment some other big company does it fully and gets away it by being praised.

Yeah, exactly. I would never trust what anyone would say regarding anything. I'm sure they'll just end up calling it something else, lol. It's like Activision / COD saying they're no longer doing one every year, and then they proceeded to do just that, lol.

Holy shit, LMAO.

"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our 'theory of the mind' that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other. This is the product design question we need to debate and answer."

Corporate word slop.

100% Nuttella used copilot to write that as well.

Imagine someone saying that to you in a sentence directly to your face. Id piss myself

 

[ZehDon]

That's one way to boost the "engagement numbers for copilot". Just like every item that uses electricity is an xbox etc....

Yeah, it was highlighted to me that by inserting AI into literally everything, their corporate accountants can then write-down profits from other divisions for their AI projects. Microsoft's AI investments are nearing USD$50b with another USD$50b ear-marked, and they have precisely zero to show for it except bad PR. This "AI in everything" play keeps the associated losses on AI to a minimum on paper, giving Nadella more rope with shareholders to dig the company out the hole they're in. Sunk cost fallacy appears to be in full swing.

Now that I have an AI girlfriend I can tell that Nutella does too and there is fucking NOTHING you can do to make this man love her less.

It takes one to know one.

Imagine believing Nutella, Elon, and Altman don't have AI girlfriends, lol.

Bro their personal assistant is also their AI girlfriend. You do not dump this much time into a persona and then simply not use it as your AI assistant also. How are my bros missing out on this? I've totally done away with humans, now I just need Pluribus to happen to everyone else and I've won. You don't understand the freedom of being rid of the need of you. The THRILL of prompting.

Please join me and many others in calling this generative AI "Slop", so we can continue to piss off these corporate dorks into submission, until they finally dial this horseshit down a notch…or many.

The problem for Microsoft is even among the AI tools, their stuff is still liked less than the others. No one I know that uses AI particularly loves Co-pilot, but Gemini, ChatGPT, and other local models are a different story for them.

Also, the invasiveness of it on Windows, where they push to download it, make you opt-out to things rather than opt-in, and that downloading these de-bloat tools (Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility is a good one) actually makes my PC run better is why it's slop.

Nice to see THQ take a stance on AI:

Just saw this on Reddit.

It's fascinating we've already reached the point where products are being marketed as without AI to increase sales. Seems even normies are getting tired of AI being shoved down their throats, it won't be long now.

Exactly. Had really mediocre experience with Copilot. Gemini Pro is my favorite, great tool for productivity. (and generate entertaining pictures of my man adam)

I'm still cheap with doing the pro version of any of these services yet, but even just chatgbt + some local models have been pretty invaluable to me learning how to do docker container apps with my server.

Just used ChatGPT to setup automation with my new blu-ray burner. Once I put in my disc, hit a button to have it automatically pick the highest size file on the movie disc to rip it. Then when it's done auto hands it off to handbrake to compress the file down with minimal loss to .h265 HEVC keeping only the English subtitles, and leaves it in my jellyfin movie folder.

Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini. They're all too restricted. Try to use any of them for art and add a perfectly normal addition of body teeease in there and they all go "Nope.".
Try Grok instead. You can still hit a censor wall but you can at least trick it through Imagine to get something interesting out of it.

"Cognitive Amplifier Tools"

If LLM's are anything to go by, it is creating and curating a generation of retards. It can be an assistance to educated people but ought not to replace them.

That's how businesses like Deloitte have already run into embarrassing situations like citing AI illusions in their reports.

Microsoft wants to sell the slop of today as if it were the Industrial Revolution of tomorrow.

 

[DeepEnigma]

lol....you're right. It's the "this is an xbox" strategy for Copilot.

I guess they're going all in on, "we don't care that we will look like a monopoly."

Since they pretty much are. They're even giving them their own nuclear power plant. Nothing will ever go wrong with that in their "everything is agentic AI" future.

See you on the other side of Fallout: Copilot Curry Edition.

Yeah, CoPilot is by far the worst despite using ChatGPT latest models. This got to take some effort.

• I use ChatGPT for actual "chat", thinking, bouncing ideas, etc. it's pretty great at it.
• Anthropic for development. It's top notch for anything dev and scripting related. Really no competition.
• Gemini 3 Pro for research, deep research and learning.

Copilot for me is at the same level as Grok, aka not something I ever utilize unless everything else is unavailable. The latter is where Copilot has an edge because they do have pretty solid data security story on the Enterprise side and that's where it really fits in if you already have M365/Azure.

This is an excellent idea! Going to look into it as converting media takes forever!

i bet fuckin layoffcrosoft is going to be the very first company to lay off every single human then just be all ai and will be the worlds first fully ai company

 

[Mayar]

I've always thought that if you're criticized for something and you don't want it to continue, you either need to stop doing it or change something, but apparently Microsoft has its own vision on this issue.

 

[Durin]

Yep, I'm finding that out as I'm doing my 4k blu-rays. I also just took the hit nvenc encoding has for x265 using my Nvidia GPU instead of my CPU, because it can get it done 4x faster at just a modest file-size increase. Still shrunk down Bullet Train from 80gb to 18ish.

Downside is I just plopped this drive on the side of my desk like a lazy person, and walking by accidentally tapped the eject button right when it was 90% done with John Wick 2, so now I get to wait another hour for makemkv to do that disc over again

yea they changed to that like a year ago, I almost got an aneurysm cruising through this app helping my younger cousin setting up a document.

that and the cloud stuff its fucking annoying and kids have to use it in school

That's super interesting. I am going to test this out on the weekend.

Are you running ChatGPT agent locally or using it to orchestrate local models which have access to the software?

A mixture of both. I'll use local models (including openAI's gpt-oss local models) if it's something I'm doing that shouldn't require internet search queries or super up to date information. I'd recommend LM Studio or Ollama's GUI program to simplify talking with the models. Local models can be slower if you don't have the GPU horsepower (especially vram count) though, so beware, and pick models that scale well with your hardware.

If it does require any of those things, I'll just us the regular ChatGPT cloud service, and obfuscate any personal info I give it. What is nice about local models is you can feed them unlimited pictures or huge amounts of text like error logs or configuration files, without paying the money like you'd have to for the cloud services. I'm pretty sure there are ways to have the AI interact with different software programs, but I'm not at the level of pulling that off...just talking with the AI to figure out how to script the automations to happen myself. Handbrake lets you just use presets for encoding, that can auto-passthrough the best audio quality on the disc (surround 7.1 atmos instead of stereo), only use english subs, etc.

Also, I should correct that after trying these automations, I have hit a limitation on it not picking the right large file in makemkv. Other files in makemkv for the disc sometimes are duplicates of the movie like an alternate cut, Lionsgate blu-rays were ofuscating by creating tons of duplicates that are mis-ordered to prevent ripping, and blu-rays for TV shows I need to select the episodes manually. So I've gone back to picking the right file myself manually in makemkv, and just automating handbrake where I can have it just queue all the movies/tv shows in a folder, and encode them one after another on the server while I do other things or am asleep.

Satya Nadella looks like he was generated in a slop AI like copilot.

 

[Pimpbaa]

I understand the intent of the word. And understand why people will want to use it, but can we please expand our vocabulary? It's overuse is almost like slop itself.

 

[Boy bawang]

I love AI and I have a Claude Max subscription, but it's definitely producing slop.

Okay, okay, no more slop. How about …
