This is the Doom loop, says the fucking ringleader...
This is the guy who’s head of Office. The person responsible for greenlighting Copilot in Excel
Or, even worse, renaming office 360 to copilot
You made your bed now sleep in it, you prince.
"EV President" who the fuck says this? It's "Executive VP"
He's actually an electric vehicle
"My one condition for this interview - I must be referred to with my President title in full, not shortened to VP. People always focus on the 'executive' part and forget the President part. It's important."

"god i hate this slop, i wish it could stop!", said the president of the slop factory
wild that this has basically become "you guys need to take some personal responsibility and use AI in a way that is useful and makes us a return on our insane investment"
werent they telling their employees to use AI for their performance reviews?

Let's be real, performance reviews have always been slop.
oh is that what's killing it? LOL
Takes more than one nail to close a coffin, and they've been hammering a while already
Drown in the cesspit you’ve filled to overflowing.
Good, you can get the same exp the rest of us have to deal with from both coworkers and clients.
Nothing like getting a slopmail with some dumbass ai answer not even remotely related to the issue at hand.
Isnt the ai slop exactly what they wanted and even demanded just some time ago?
Hoist by his own petard
I hope the employees are doing this on purpose. Like, “Oh, you going to fucking make me use AI? Right. I’ll use AI for fucking everything. I’ll even let it decide what to send to you. Enjoy.”
WELL WELL WELL, WHO COULD'VE PREDICTED SUCH A PREDICAMENT??????????
And come down from their ivory towers, see things from the same plane of existence as the serfs and plebeians that should be grateful for living under their shadow? Preposterous!!!
You built the world's most resource intensive asshole, you deserve to have your lips sewn around it.
"No way to stop this" says the person actively making this happen.
Motherfucker must be getting altitude sickness from how high his petard has hosted him.
When you're losing your biggest fans (e.g. the author), that's a strong signal..
We were recently forced to take AI training at work and this was exactly one of the training scenarios used, a financial analyst who needs to send a report to the CFO could just dump all the documents into Gemini and send the output out so that they didnt have to spend any time actually reading the corporate financial reports. I was horrified when I heard it but apparently we're all supposed to have faith in our new AI overlords and put the pedal to the metal accelerating toward iur own demise.
How ironic....
