The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot

[feral_3d@mastodon.social]

@ketan That's messed up.

@ketan
The gloves have come off, y'all

[peachfront@mas.to]

@ketan

they even named him "kyle," is it satire or are they "honestly" this clueless

[peachfront@mas.to]

@paulcox @ketan

i mean they almost had to...???

@hi_cial @monocularvision
He actually does "copy" the work, bottom roght of the screen you can see what he types.

@ketan This genuinely comes off as satire to me. Who thought this was an ad that would make people LIKE their product?

[peachfront@mas.to]

@datguydavid @ketan

and so have the sheets...

[michaelcoyote@mastodon.social]

@ketan yikes

[cyberlyra@hachyderm.io]

@ketan Is this real???

[finestructure@mastodon.social]

@loathsome_dongeater @ketan @drahardja Wow, that sounds terrible. That’s like a digital petrol station bouquet but with even less effort and therefore more of an insult.

@ketan
Beside the embarrassing and cringeworthy aspects.

It also shows exactly how not to use an "ai assistant".

That's like throwing dice on that rather mediocre Copilot thingy.

@ketan Now I feel obligated to send a link to a YTP of Ballmer selling Windows 1.0

@ketan i wonder how many eyes that ad passed through before it was approved for release, that not one of them went "hang on... what are we actually saying here?"

[elala@nrw.social]

@ketan
Wow, they’ve strung together some of the worst human traits (racism, envy, greed, selfishness, hypocrisy, superficiality...) and labeled them as desirable, only to then use them to promote a product?‍
So this is it — the brave new world envisioned by the tech fascists, the one that’s supposed to solve all our problems on Earth?

Can I hope this is satire?🥴 🫣

@ChemicalEyeGuy @ketan

You've just opened up an eloquent description of AI and its users as

*wanker clankers* and *clanker wankers*

[madagascar_sky@mastodon.social]

@ketan Man, this is straight up racist. Non-white people can be mediocre too.

But seriously, it implies a certain strata of people because of their ethnicity, and not their station in the power structure, use underhanded means to stay in un-deserved power. In context to a lot of readers of this site, it will sound like 'All lives matter' but be cognisant that this is an international website visited by people of a rich cultural background of discrimination against outgroups.

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@ketan what a horrible work environment this must be. Team spirit? Together? No, ellbows and behind the scenes theft of data, and in this clip racism and again and again it is men who are in the lead.
Women just cheer on. This is not my world and never was. Thankful for that.

[monocularvision@mastodon.social]

@hi_cial @ketan I am sorry but the post said “*literally copy it”. That just isn’t a factual description of this commercial.

[alsvha@sunny.garden]

@ketan That cannot be real......somebody must have made that ironically and then ..... you know 'Copilot' made it real.

[clusterfcku@mastodon.social]

@bigblen @simonbp @ketan took me few attempts to catch it but there it is at 0:18, partially covered by the logo bottom right. Ugh.
