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:
@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.

@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 @ketan but the narrative and framing make it clear he's doing this after having a neg reaction to peers calling a coworker's beautiful
what is that if not asking ai to replicate what got his peer praised?

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

@ketan but, just to be sure: is this a real add by Microsoft?
Or satire by someone else?
We live in times were those two can't be separated anymore...

@ketan It’s so revealing that every office-work AI ad seems to endorse the worst asshole behavior in people. Utter neglect, then taking credit for someone else’s work, then bullshitting your way through, all while not caring about the work product, all for the grand goal of making an extra dollar or winning corporate praise…just the worst aspects of humanity.
@drahardja Yeah, Apple Intelligence ads were exactly like that too. "Oops I forgot to read the presentation my colleagues put effort into, I'll ask my Mac to extract three key points to pretend I've read it, I'm such a good person"

@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 you've summed up contemporary culture with one synopsis.

You've just opened up an eloquent description of AI and its users as
*wanker clankers* and *clanker wankers*
SI wanker: So *not* super intelligence?
Me: *So* not super intelligence!Sorry “#Sports Illustrated”, #SI now stands for #SuperIdiot.

It is truly tragic that we have reached the point where we see something like this, and we can't tell if its parody or Microsoft just taking the mask completely off.

@ketan Yes, Copilot sucks, but where in the ad does he ask it to copy his coworker's work? All I saw was a vague "make mine beautiful".

“Wanker clankers
and clanker wankers 🧍
️” is not the kind of ‘bad romance’ that Lady Gaga referred to here: https://youtu.be/qrO4YZeyl0IIt’s more like the prophetic photo that perfectly symbolizes the deadly nexus of #Trump and #Musk (or #Corruption and #BigTech more broadly).
