Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

What's the red one?

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 6 points 16 hours ago

This is 100% going on the work teams chat as soon as it's relevant. (not long)

MicroSlop CoPile-o'-shit

[–] maplesaga@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Microslop I recognize, but who is this "Microsoft" company?

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like a bad porn company

[–] maplesaga@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Or some rent seeking company like IBM that makes atrocious legacy code.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

The moment I saw this name a month or so ago I was really really really hopeful it would catch on. This is great.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

Did they get their Coslop on it?

[–] Janx@piefed.social 38 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Anything but address the core issue. Consumers overwhelmingly see almost no benefit from AI, are sick of it being stuffed into everything, sick of being forced to use it at work, sick of being forced to fund it in our retirement accounts, sick of our water being used for it in the datacenters they're building, and sick of consumer products being out of stock or skyrocketing in price because of it... Banning a word won't solve any of that!

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 14 hours ago

Don't forget all the citizens being forced to subsidize the datacenters with exorbitant electricity bills.

i didnt know Microslop had a discord

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Plot Twist: Someone should make a discord server (or whatever) called Microslop that helps people with problems in their products.

[–] TheSambassador@lemmy.world 18 points 20 hours ago (5 children)

Honestly this was my biggest "wtf" takeaway from this. There's a Microsoft Copilot DISCORD SERVER? Are there other "official" Discord servers for other random Microsoft products? Why aren't they using Teams or whatever?

[–] toddestan@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

One day a Microsoft employee must have asked Copilot what was a good chat platform, and thus a new Discord server was born.

[–] happytortoise@lemmy.zip 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Teams is so bad not even Microsoft wants to use it lmao

[–] maplesaga@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

It effectively helps me destroy peoples formatting, with some hope our company moves away from Microslop software.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

even Microslop knows teams is a terrible communications platform.

Microslop does apparently, but under a fake name.

Microslop, now with added Barbers Streisand effect.

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 39 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

You know, the CEO could basically end "microslop" over night. Kill their AI division and investments and for the most part people would stop calling them microslop. They got the name after the CEO complained about the use of the word slop for AI slop.

Idk, this is just me, some regular dude not being paid enough to own 7 homes and a vacation home for when I need to get away.

Install Linux, Problem Solved.

This is the Year of the Linux Desktop.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (6 children)

This is almost certainly a work-related thing. Most people, even on Windows, hate Teams and don't use it unless they have to for their job.

If Windows 11 detects that you said, typed, or thought of the word "microslop" it deletes all your data, and sends your personal data to the ~~CIA~~ Grok that then promptly sends you to your nearest gulag.

If it bugs them that badly, I say people need to do it even more.

…Who would be in the Microsoft Discord? Why?

Wasn’t there some old internet saying that once megacorps join a social media platform en masse, it’s uncool? What happened to that?

[–] schroedingersKoala@piefed.ca 30 points 1 day ago

I mean, it really earned, that name, you know: MICROSLOP! MICROSLOP! MICROSLOP! MICROSLOP! MICROSLOP!
Maybe their CEO Slopya Nutella should not be so thin skinned? He is to majorly blame for 99% of this MICROSLOP!

[–] Etterra@lemmy.org 20 points 23 hours ago

Well well well, if it isn't Microslop suffering the consequences of its own stupid choices.

[–] m3t00@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

micro$lop - the dollar sign really irritates them

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Solution from the old ones: We used to replace the S with a $ sign in Microsoft (or Microshaft, or "Microfos" (Microshit) if you're Hungarian), so if you're writing it as Micro$lop, you get a few days evasion.

(Reason behind the abandonment of Micro$oft/Micro$haft/whatever: Windows 7, Linux and its community was much worse back then, "maybe not all companies are bad" sentiment popular in the early 10's, people suddenly thought all the crap Micro$lop did were conspiracy theories, etc.)

Not sure if it works on Discord but another old-school trick is Micro**slop

italicizing nothing creates an invisible break in the word

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

TFW when someone has an "old-school" trick which uses markdown syntax.

The feeling is old. I feel old.

[–] vividspecter@aussie.zone 1 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Markdown is 22 years old tomorrow. Feeling old yet?

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

On discord, that just shows up. If you have nothing inside, the characters will escape.

LOL All they need to do is stop pushing what they call "AI" into everything they make, turn it into a opt-in only feature, allowing people to remove every fucking bit of Coslop from their PCs. They don't want to because it would prove what they already know: Microslop is a Sloperator and admitting the truth would be temporarily painful to their earnings. Fixing things would take far too long, so Microslop would prefer to not do that work. Satya needs to get over it and admit defeat.

[–] hraegsvelmir@ani.social 2 points 13 hours ago

They're probably just terrified of being the ones to burst the bubble if they do that. It would be a pretty damning indictment of the "success" of AI if their telemetry revealed that the majority of users disable it completely once they learn that it's possible. The whole thing is only being held up by the illusions of it being ubiquitous and already widely used by people. If their own hard data demonstrate that the majority prefer to remove or disable it completely, that would be a disaster for them. Their entire current business plan, as well as the investments of the last few years, suddenly vanish in a puff of smoke as soon as word gets out, and I'm sure they know it.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Streisand effect shit. Stop being slop if you don't want to be called slop.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 1 day ago (18 children)

So, they’re going to stop pushing AI slop…?

No?

Then they’re not serving you. They’re serving someone else and you’re either the product, or the byproduct. Get a Mac, or switch to Linux, if you’re still running Windows in 2026.

I mean obviously, “buy a whole new machine” is kind of a tall order, but some of us were willing to vote with our wallets. Linux is free and requires virtually no commitment. It’s pretty trivial to go back to Windows if you really want to do — even from within Linux.
