For years, I’ve rather read Stackoverflow comments than Microsoft’s nearly unusable documentation. It’s as if they don’t know how to write coherently

I'm starting to think they aren't concerned about making their slides even remotely veritable. They're not even combigent!
"Combigent?" Hm, I never heard that word before I moved to Microsoft.
Those are perfectly cromulent words.
The worst is claiming Copilot "understands intent & meaning", the funny mistakes more or less show that that's just a blatant lie.
Saw this article from Microslop the other day about their MDASH copilot model competing with Mythos for bug finding/fixing.
And here's the image they went with for the flowchart of what the AI does... Complete with overlapping text and the worst layout I've ever seen.
Zero humans proofed this.

about their MDASH copilot model
that's satire, right? 
I know this! This is a slide deck which only makes sense in an interactive way, where the steps are revealed after one another. Probably straight from a presentation.
Don't attribute bad work to AI which can be done in the same way by an incompetent human.
As someone who's career depended on presentations for a while:
Never build animations in-slide (unless they are purely aesthetic).
Instead:
Build multiple slides which duplicate the previous and add new boxes with transitions on the slides. Bonus: change the title on each build to cover the key point.
Sure, they take longer to edit. But that leave-behind export to PDF always works.
Anyone remember how much nicer the world felt before we all realized nobody in charge of anything with any real power has any idea what the fuck they're doing?
Nope.
I'm legitimately having a blast right now, 100% affirmed by reality, which I spent the last roughly 15 years of trying to tell people, very labriously, with very detailed reasoning, why what is now obvious was then and basically always has been the case.
Your discomfort is my schadenfreude.
They know what they are doing. Their goals just don't align with the rest of humanity.
The mistake we make is in assuming that government choices are born of incompetence... The actions of empire are not incompetent. They are not intended to serve you or the citizens, but to serve material interests, the plunder of land, natural resources, markets, and cheap labor".

RIP to the GOAT
Edit: He talks about it in the lecture starting around 15:35. Though the quote above is from his book "against empire"
We didn't all realize that at the same point. Some of us have known that for a very long time.
A "combingent" is when a guy is going commando, but when using the bathroom, is in too much of a hurry and gets his scrote skin caught in the zip
I started using linkwarden to archive their documentation for various things just so I know I'm not crazy when it changes.
You can track the changes on its github https://github.com/microsoftdocs
Oh my Lord, that is so much easier and in hindsight, so obvious. Thank you brother!
who morged that? Why does that happen continvously?
What a combigent, inbiltum response!
Understands intent & meaning Understands intent & meaning Understands intent & meaning Understands intent & meaning Understands intent & meaning Understands intent & meaning
Veritable answer? Indubitable!

Due to the negative press combigent
Did AI make these slides?
It combigated them.
A veritable answer.
It's a perfectly cromulent word
Product of continvoucly morged slop.
Almost made me do a spit take, damn you lol!
Combigent is too nice a sounding word to lack any real meaning it needs one.
Seems perfectly cromulent to me
It's Microslop. The people who had any resemblance of work ethics left a long time ago. No one still working there gives any shits about QA - especially not the management.
This is not AI, AI would have made it much better. I mean, the only thing LLMs are quite good at is writing words, it is uncommon they misspell a word.
LLMs misspell words in generated images. Modern models aren’t as bad as they were a year or two ago, but we don’t know what model was used here.
