Comment on “You heard wrong” - users brutually reject Microsoft's "Copilot for work" in Edge and Windows 11

I really can’t think of any tasks I do regularly, or even occasionally, I’d want to use AI for.

Maybe I’m an outlier? Read above a 6th grade level (that’s half the US right there) with a background in software development. If someone was like “find all the words in this list that start with ‘ab’” I’d reach for grep or python or similar.

Find all the words that start with “ab”… Ctrl + F “ab” and do a scan to see how many instances of ab aren’t at the start.

(x = results found) - (y = count that don’t start with ab) = z.

I don’t understand how you don’t see that you’re on an extreme edge of outliers… Do you seriously think most people even know what grep or python is? (Hint: they don’t)

The vast majority of people have absolutely no experience or interest in coding. The majority of people live without an adblocker, that alone should tell you everything you need to know. It’s kinda funny IMO, comments like yours are so common here and you all seem completely unable to understand the very obvious and basic fact that you are extremely far removed from the average person in any of this. You and everyone else always write like you think most people can code and figure things out that require years of experience and knowledge, while the truth is that anything more complicated than clicking on a big green “install” button and having everything work perfectly is too much for 95% of humanity.

  To be fair you could paste the list in a spreadsheet and sort it in about 10 more seconds than it would take to grep it.

  I recognize I’m an outlier. It makes me a little sad that most people won’t get to where I was in middle school, computer and literacy wise. I guess that’s technically years of experience but it’s also stuff a child can do.
  
  Is it because I’m an outlier that I think AI is trash? Maybe.

The one thing I use AI at work is to compose corporate flavoured bloated texts with buzzwords (self-evaluation, HR communication) so I can also sound like a brainwashed useful drone.

I only use windows for work, but I hate it with passion.
