AI is the tool of the lazy.
Comment on I'm fed up with Copilot, and I'm not sure it can be fixed

I’m well aware that there are “dedupe” services out there, but I’m still very leery of giving a third-party service access to the entirety of my cloud backups. So, when I saw that Microsoft now offers the ability to send Copilot agents into your OneDrive files (version 1.0!), I thought, hey, this was worth checking out. It was time for a good spring cleaning of my cloud storage.
If he was “leery of giving a third-party service access to the entirety of my cloud backups”, why would he trust hallucinating and unpredictable software more than a deterministic and fully predictable software.
You just did the opposite of what would be a much safer option 🤦
Can any technically illiterate moron write technical articles for a pc magazine?

Nothing wrong with laziness. There are a small number of cases where it improves productivity. None I’ve found so far on my job, but I know people who use it effectively.
But anyone who gives an LLM access to do something that might be costly or risky to reverse is a drooling imbecile who shouldn’t be allowed to eat soup without being watched by an attendant.

Differently types of risks. Giving a 3rd party access to your full cloud storage has massive privacy concerns that he is right to want to avoid.
