"Formerly Office", now balls-deep in AI.

#Microslop

A screenshot showing that Microsoft is going whole-hog (in the most shameless way possible) on AI, proudly displaying it in the first *two* selling points on the main office.com website.

Wait... is that... CLIPPY hiding there in plain sight? Is Microsoft finally admitting that copilot is just another useless, annoying, pushy distraction getting in the way?

"You look like you're trying to write something meaningful! Would you like me to replace that with the average of a million strangers shitposting on the Internet?"

Microsoft Word in Windows XP. Clippy has appeared and presents this message:

It looks like you're writing a letter. Would you like help?
- Replace my writing with the average of one million strangers shitposting on the Internet. Also burn 1-100 acres of forest to the ground.
- Just type the letter without help

I should state for the record that I think LLMs and other forms of AI have some valid and worthwhile uses, and that *none* of them should be tied to big tech or capitalism.

See things like:
- accessibility
- some types of research
- spell-check and predictive keyboards
- spam/scam filtering
