The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot
A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead:

Also, it's been 20 years, so I don't think I'm spoiling anything.
I might be. Who knows?
It's the Illusionist, right..forgot the name of the movie. ;)
I saw it as asshole copying the competent guy for the most petty reason ever. Basically cheat with AI to fix your stupidity and incompetency.
And yes, you can be very smart and still be mediocre if you only use your talents to create trash like this, with zero regard for how it affects people outside your teeny tiny bubble.
Voices in people’s heads? They are other humans on Earth who mind control the rest of us.
Look your friends in the eyes. They’re bad at keeping their cover. #endoursuffering
Dear.
This started out fine.
Carmen has been here 20 years. Carmen knows everything.

Now Carmen can get back to her regular job.
NO, YOU ASSHATS. CARMEN SHOULD BE PROMOTED.
If this resonates with you. YOU. ARE. A. LOSER.
"Microsoft Copilot."
I mean, obviously they know their audience, but there's no more mediocre dudes to win over. the people that think this is great already depends on AI.
Got a big paper due the same day as your fishing trip? We've got your back. You fish, we'll write! Pay us first, of course.

Me: ok, you can shut up now.
So effin’ blatant.
Say non-white again.
That specific relationship shouldn’t disappear into a catchall.
this ad fucking pisses me off
Is it also racist? Hell yeah it is?
Have they really found that that type of person is their core audience?
Their layering the racism in is just abysmal.
Its not on YouTube, the Copilot channel, or MS com
Is it a likely scenario, yes.
Is it a Microsoft message. No. 🚩
I'd be suspicious and take it as a AI created wannabe.
Serious question: Will AI eventually become something of the past? Will it kill itself off?
Seems useful at first -> becomes unnecessarily ubiquitous -> negative effects can no longer be ignored -> it’s banned for the general public and safer alternatives arrive.
'AI that thing no one likes!'
It’s everybody’s game until it’s no one’s game
I guess this, like a few other of those sorts of things, have a corporate sheen painted on it now.
Linux user primarily, have done as much as I can to disable CoPileOf on my last Windows11 system.
For mediocre white guys, by mediocre white guys
please tell me it's satire.

Congratulations, Kyle! You just trained your replacement!
Yikes.
Cheaters pre-date AI, but it’s telling these companies no longer pretend this is a misuse of their product.
don't we fucking hate thinking about the wants and needs of our bratty children, folks?

Around the world.
People who aren't good at their job and but feel entitled to the praise of someone who is and are willing to underhanded things like take credit for other people's work to get there.
Unfortunately it also works which is probably the biggest tragedy.
Anybody pulling together a global class action?

One would think if MS had any confidence in their bot, they would have used it to make the ad.🤔
lmao
i really think these ad agencies are slipping shade in under the radar. every single ai ad is insulting and embarrassing
It's crazy!
He’s getting hit with friendly fire.
Not sure why it's a lesser issue when a human worker is exploited like that.

Like they are pitching this as "good" and "how you should use the product"?
Microslop: empowering mediocrity'
Old and Jaded TheGF: You damn well know there weren’t.
I can’t stop pointing out that targeting lonely old people is a hallmark of dishonest and ill intent.
