Copilot AI ‘Microslop’ Chat Ban Is Not Censorship—Says ~~Microsoft~~ Microslop

So they won’t mind if we start calling it “NoPilot” then?

[–] user28282912@piefed.social 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I also like FauxPilot.

faux - adj - artificial or imitation; fake.

Not to* be confused with the OSS alternative, also named fauxpilot.

Censorship is not censorship -- says Microslop.

They’re within their rights and it’s definitely not something they want to have take off, whether it’s accurate or not.

But apparently their brand management doesn’t know who Barbara Streisand is.

The homeowner?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 3 points 2 months ago

No, that's MechaStriesand.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 months ago

It’s "brand management"

Microsoft will have plenty more missteps as they continue to fall from relevance.

"After carefully considering the matter, we have determined that we have done nothing wrong."

Lol microshit

[–] Yliaster@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Microslop.

Next up: Gaslighting!

Microslop's Slopya Nadella is getting butt hurt

[–] Reisen@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

they are right. it's their discord and so they make the rules. it's not censorship.

but it is very much letting us know that it got under their skin. and so i will keep using that name everywhere i can

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

It's still censorship. Self imposed censorship is still censorship.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Cry harder, Microslop

[–] percent@infosec.pub 4 points 2 months ago

Maybe they'd prefer "Macroslop"?

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That's just going to cause people to invent an even more insulting word.
