Microsoft 365 can fuck off
I've never made any secret of the fact I don't like Artificial Intelligence (AI) when it comes to my writing here on Hive or anywhere else for that matter; I don't need the help because I'm an educated human being.
No, I'm not saying I'm smarter than anyone else, I'm a bit of a dumb fucker to be honest, just that because I'm human I'm ok with the fact I make mistakes and that includes not being the best writer out there...let's face it, none of us are even though some of you probably think you are.
Anyway, I don't care if I'm not the greatest writer that ever lived, it doesn't affect my life for better or worse either way; what negatively impacts my life is a corporation stealing my personal information and data and trying to tell me what to write, and how, with their AI fuckassery.
Human beings have personalities and it's those that make us unique so I'm not inclined to want a computer to make up my words.
Some think it's ok, like in a work environment, for AI to write for them but it's not...I mean, what happens if you communicated in writing with someone by email and they sounded legit (because they use AI to craft their emails) then you met them in a professional meeting and found they are a dumb fucker who can't articulate their thoughts or converse with any skill at all? I don't know about you, but I'd think that person was a total fucken idiot.
Anyway, what's this all about?
Well, I was forced to update my Microsoft 365 account which I use for (some of) my emails and calendars and for Excel and Word purposes and the upgrade added in their AI nutbaggery called copilot. It's fucked.
It should be called cuntpilot I think.
Apparently there's some methods of disabling it, the fucken thing is on my phone and computers now, but I'm not that smart so don't know how to do it. For that reason I've moved away from Microsoft 365 altogether and have sought other options to handle my emails, calendars, spreadsheets and word processing - those fuckers have no right to my data or to be telling me how to write. I'm human and prefer to remain so.
Microsoft 365 can fuck off.
End transmission.

Amazing pictures 😍
Cheers, that's my local beach, somewhere I go a lot and we get some pretty legit sunsets.
How amazing it is to go to such a beautiful beach frequently
This is the best commentary on AI that I've read.
Unfortunately, mate, we're going to get bombarded with a lot more of this type of "upgrade"
Thanks man, I tried not to swear...I think I managed it...or maybe not.
You're right, it's only going to get worse and my rants will too I guess. I know the way it's heading and I fully believe it's going nowhere good, but we have to adapt. I was proper angry today, I hate stuff that's out of my control but like you say, that's the way of it. I do my little things here and there, mitigate my exposure as much as I can and try not to kill anyone along the way.
Anyone who tries not to swear, yet coins the word "cuntpilot", is my hero.

Haha! Thank you, I'll take it. ✅

LOL, poor AI. I must admit that AI helps me a bit when I spruce up my coding skills. I've learnt a fair few tricks. I'm not a developer but an SEO, so my tasks can get quite technical. And I can't be bothered to wait for someone to fix things; I figure it out myself. AI has been great with helping me up my game here.
But I completely understand your rant in its context. I'm still using Office 21 for this reason, 365, trying to be too clever! And also, I'm a cheapo who wants to pay a once-off licence!
AI has its uses, I'm just not inclined to trade in my own skills and intelligence in preference for it; I'm dumb enough as it is without relying on zeros and ones to think for me causing me to think less moving forward. I like being me and one or two people I know like me that way too, AI could never replace the OG.
LOL Well, if one or two people agree, that's all you need. But I also agree. Especially for writing skills. 99% of the stuff it generates sounds worse than ad agencies of the 80s...
Well, one at least, let's call it a solid one though. Ok, that person's not all that solid I suppose, so maybe let's just round down to half a person.
hey little people are full people too! LOL
Yeah, like Hobbits.
Or pygmies...
Yeah, and Oompa Loompas.
yeah, and Munchkins
And fucken Smurfs.
Hi Galen, on the IA issue I have a clear opinion, the use that is being made of it is perverse. Very perverse. Not only because of the theft of personal data, the social control goes beyond that. They are programmed to lie about controversial issues, in addition to transmit an appearance that is false: that they do not make mistakes. Which is also not true.
Then there is the question of cheating, of the shortcuts that mediocre people use to achieve their goals and that hurt honest, hard-working and talented people.
In my profession, and in all healthcare professions, AI is simply a disaster. This is a topic I may someday address around here, although I'm not in much of a mood to do so. Not long ago I made a rather innocent little comment on the subject and already received an unintelligent response.
Greetings.
You're first paragraph...you're right and that's some scary shit in my opinion. Humanity is embracing the very thing that will dumb it down.
Your second paragraph...fucken right!
I'm sorry you've received some unintelligent responses in the past, probably some asshole who used AI to write it. People are embracing AI, touting it as the best thing ever but I think there will come a time when humanity wishes they didn't...but it'll be too late by then.
I have little else to add other than to wish you a great week while I start crying 😭.
Greetings.😀
Thanks mate, it's Wednesday tomorrow so I'm half way through the week, almost. Hopefully things are going ok for you over there.
In a minute I start my work day. See you tomorrow.
I use libreoffice. it is free. and so far I didn't have any problems.
Yeah, there's a few other options out there and I'm still investigating.
AI is used by brain dead socially inept lazy fuckers,
and who the fuck needs an ai kettle, jesus fucking christ, flick a switch you lazy ben z fuckers, get off your fone.
Fucking hell, we should have collaborated on this post of mine, you think the same as I do!
Separated at birth LOL
Haha! ✅
😎😎
The truth is that I would feel very disappointed, because he didn't show himself as he really was, because he lied to me and was fake... Beyond the fact that he doesn't even know how to talk... he used deception.
That company gets into people's lives or wants to get into people's lives, stores everyone's data... and sells it to the highest bidder... bullshit!
We (humans) should be rebelling against it not embracing it but humans can be lazy assholes so getting AI to do the work for them seems to have value. A time will come when humanity regrets the hole they've put themselves in.
I know they will regret it... and it will be too late. the race will be divided.... the world will suffer a lot... it is very sad, but maybe it is a replacement of human beings.
Yup. FOSS FTW. I use LibreOffice on my home systems. Not as polished, sure, but also not as creepy and invasive and expensive.
I'll be checking LibreOffice out over the weekend. Seen it before but not used it.
I'm a Luddite. To me AI are just 2 letters in the alphabet. Down with that sort of thing!
It must be slayed!
㋡ Aren't you slayer in chief?
I am, and am proficient.

Sooo, tell us how you really feel about Microsoft 365 lol. Best rant I've heard all week!
I have no love for Microsoft and even less for AI. I actually LIKE humans....quirks, flaws and all. In fact, I am quite uncomfortable while in the presence of bright, shiny plastic people. Maybe they aren't actually people at all???
I'm glad you liked it, I was pretty mad when I wrote it...angry.
I will never understand why people find value in AI doing their writing or why people think it's so good; there's trouble on the horizon, trouble the plastic people won't be prepared for.
I agree 100%...sounds a bit like science fiction, but we are already in the beginning stages of an AI takeover. It pissez mi ouf win it corekts my spailing ...I mint to spail it tha way 😂

Well Microsoft have been stoling our information from far far away time.
But wen we feel comfortable with nice tools like copilot, you stars to be lazy and this is very sad.
Well you should try with Ubuntu, Linux it is a good options, or have in your computer a hard disk partitions one with Microsoft and the others with Ubuntu for your partitions and personal information and you decide which one you stars your computers.
It could be a solutions, for mi is fantastic.
Sorry my English mistakes I am not use frequently traductor and make my better effort with my basic English
Best regards.
Yep, corporations like Microsoft have been stealing from us and treating us with contempt for a long time; people have the chance to revel but they don't, they embrace it, and so it is allowed to continue. I think AI is causing people to be lazy and is diminishing what skills they may have through not being used. It's been happening for a long time but we're in a situation now where it's accelerating due to the widespread use and acceptance of AI.
The IA could causes a lot of disasters in the humanity, but people do not understand.
Right now.
Exactly, people are unaware of how destructive it will be.
I do think that AI should not interfere with creative work like drawing, writing, singing, etc.
But it's fun to experiment with the features here and there.
There again if companies start shoving AI down our throats, then I'm very against that!
I'm not at all interested in any AI features to be honest, I'd rather live in the real world. Unfortunately, the corporations are forcing it upon us, it's permeating every aspect of life, and I don't see that as a good thing. It'll end badly.
I was told by my colleagues who do the purchasing of computers, that from this year all computers come with built-in chips for AI, as well as Phones IOS 18, Samsung S24 series.
AI is either loved and used, or disliked and avoided... There is no middle ground.
I have not found any use in communicating with AI, but I am aware that the same AI solves the calculation of maps when I travel...
Let me help in these matters, I will write and think by myself...
I had the task of writing some text for the company , but it was too long.
A colleague tell me:Askthe AI to short your text.
I tried it. When hAI shortened the text, the story lost its point and mine personally. So, thank you. No need.
I don't know how to turn it off either from the phone or from the computer, but I don't call AI to do for me, what I like to do.
Why doesn't the AI pick up the iron or dust my room? No, AI will write me posts. Well, it won't.
I would have been surprised if you liked and relied upon AI, you seem like someone who celebrates his true self and wishes only to be that.
Unfortunately for you, I think even the alternatives are going to be heading this way. I have a feeling eventually we are going to look at AI the same way people used to look at calculators back in the day. They didn't see the point and thought that a slide rule was just fine. I personally don't use AI, but I am willing to admit that there are some valid uses for it coming down the pike. Believe it or not, while I write pretty well here on Hive, if you met me in person, I don't do nearly so well trying to put thoughts and sentences on the fly, so you would likely consider me an idiot :)
Unfortunately for everyone I think, it's not going to end well.
I know you have touched on it in the past, but what is the ultimate scenario you see taking place? Is it mostly just lost jobs and lazy people or do you foresee other drawbacks that people aren't considering? As I said, I personally don't use AI that much. I dabble every now and then to see what people are talking about, but it's not something I would rely on for anything.
It's not just about jobs, it's about people forgetting how to do things like communicate effectively, write, figure and think from their head not AI, people losing human traits and personalities...the impact goes way further than lost jobs, although that's certainly happening...and that'll apply economic pressure, discontent, increased crime rate, mental health issues and so on which will increase pressure on governments through law enforcement and medical failures...which exacerbate the issues all over again compounding them. I think there's many factors besides these also. But that's just me, some people think it's awesome. Time will tell...it's already having effects though.
Thanks for the great explanation. I personally haven't thought about it that much to have considered all of those things. As I have said before, I struggle to communicate effectively anyway. Perhaps I won't be the only one before long!
I think the only good thing about living on this frozen island is that we can't use M365 😅; due to the embargo, it's not available.We're stuck at Microsoft 2019 or something previous 😪
Personally, I find it a bit intrusive since the AI runs in the background collecting information on everything we do. I don't know, but I don't like that, so screw you, Microsoft!
Doesn't Australia have laws like the EU to limit the reach of AI?
Yeah, that's one good thing about Cuba I guess, it's not a good thing, the way AI creeps around, and I think we shouldn't be accepting it.
I'm not sure about the control mechanisms in place for AI here in Australia but I don't think there's much of it. People seem to embrace it and welcome it without any thought being out into how it's taking over.

Microsoft 365 is doing my head in, I have it on my phone for work and it keeps trying to hijack things that I open even when I set other things to default. Annoying bastard thing!
Yeah, it really is shit; I've put plans in place to fuck it off, just changing things over and all and then I'm going to slay Microsoft 365 for good.
Kill the beast!!! I wish I could get rid of it. Smart move by my place, getting rid of company phones and getting us to use our own the gits!
I'm going to give Microsoft 365 some of this shit!
Also yeah, so retarded making people use their own phones for work.
Arnie knows what's what! Give them it good!!!
I wanted to put a "if it bleeds we can kill it" gif from Predator but couldn't find one. I blame Microsoft 365.
Microsoft are gobbling up the GIFs that can hurt them!
Yeah, sanitising them, making them more "correct" I think. Another reason to kill it.
Nothings to big to kill!
