  Right after I learn about how much of a failure Copilot has been, and they do this. I’m not surprised, but man.

  I can make LibreOffice Writer look like word 2007 🤗

    I actually prefer the ribbon layout. But I actually only really started using Word when this was the interface

  what the fuck…

  so AI psychosis goes both ways it seems

  source

  • sureshot0@discuss.online ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    AI psychosis is so easy to slip into, even if someone knows it’s happening. In order to use AI safely, use a search AI like DuckDuckGo/Ecosia/Gemini and only ask it questions pertaining to searches, don’t ask followup questions.

    It’s not just that the AI convinces users that it’s in a relationship with them. The AI writes like a human, but it also will hallicinate and get things wrong. The user has the experience of arguing with a ‘person’ who keeps insisting on an imagined reality. That is crazy-making behavior when humans do it, so it’s understandable that it’s crazy-making when a search engine does it.

  Using any bloatsoft product is a joke at this point, unless your job or school forces you to do so

  Microsoft: We can’t find anyone who likes Copilot.

  Also Microsoft: Let’s rebrand our only well-received products as Copilot.

    well-received is a stretch. more like less-hated.

    source

    • rumba@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      YMMV; my C-staff have all yearned for the office platform since we transitioned to Google Workspace.

      I’d be happy to walk to an open solution, but the integration for mobile and high levels of interoperability with other companies leaves me stuck with Gdocs or o365

  Boy, that company should probably fire the CEO, what with him forcing it to commit suicide.

• bagsy@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Microsoft has like 15 words they just keep rearranging for all their products, kinda like what taco bell did for “mexican” food.

  • golden_zealot@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I remember working IT, and every other week there was some announcement that looked like this:

    Microsoft Pro Plus for Office is now Office 365 plus for Business Office 365 Office Pro is now Microsoft Office Pro Plus Office Dynamics 365 for Business is now Office for Business Pro Microsoft Windows Home Office 365 is now Windows 365 Home Plus

    How anyone still manages that fucking licensing is beyond me.

      they got the idea from how often HBO renames thier service.

    Don’t disrespect Taco Bell by comparing them to this shit company.

  For those required to use Ai in their job would this count then?

  source

  • _edge@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    This may be the strategy. 90% of all business users use copilot daily (after we renamed their coffeemachine and the kitchen sink to copilot)

  You can call it trash can, garbage bin, wheely bin,dumpster, it’s all the same, putting lipstick on a pig, it will still be a pig

  I prefer LibreOffice - if you’re still using Windows 10 with Linux, switch to LibreOffice!

  They really have a massive talent. It’s not easy to have such a consistent record in choosing stupid and confusing names, rebranding stuff with no reason.

  source
• pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  This is satire right

  source

  • Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    If it’s true, it seems like a crazy idea. Whether you like office or not, it’s a known brand and people have been using it for a long time. Throwing away that name recognition has to be a bad idea, especially as many people are increasingly resentful at having AI shit forced down their throats.

    source

    • Passerby6497@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Where do you see that it isn’t true? Clicking through to the MicroSlop site, it looks like it confirms this as true:

      Image

      The Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office) lets you create, share, and collaborate all in one place with your favorite apps now including Copilot.*

      Is this just a wording fail and the app is changing, not the product line?

      If so, still not even the most confusing rebrand in recent memory.

      Imagine if someone took a well known brand like Tumblr and renamed it to something stupid like “Q”

  Hahaha… good joke, but people already did it.

  …it’s a joke, right?

  The sad part is that i still tried to first rationalize this and was about to check if office.com really belongs to microsoft…

  Anyway, i jumped ship for good last year. Its probably really time to delete that windows 10 partition i used a whole 2 hours the last 6 months.
