Copilot on teams Android keeps turning itself on. I looked through docs & found I was doing things correctly. So I opened it up out of frustration.
I know it means nothing, but I had to say (type?) it out loud. I have really come to hate Windows since 11 was forced on us at work.
Ironically, it’ll just ape back what you want to hear by being sympathetic towards my concerns, addressing nothing.
Don’t know who’s more pathetic, the chatbot or me 🥲
I have never cared what work wanted me to use. It’s their computer, not mine. They can use a potato for all I care. As long as I can do my job, and I can just fine with windows. Collecting my package is what I most care about.
You can always ask them for a Linux distro. When I was an intern, I asked the IT team to preinstall some flavour of Linux. And they did. They installed Ubuntu on that laptop.
I mean. It did offer to help you pick out a distro. Imagine your soon to be ex offering to make you a tinder profile.
Unironically AI is pretty good at helping linux noobs.
Honestly it’s really helped me with spreadsheet formulae and more complex regex search and replace terms. And it’s so pleasant and patient about all of it. So many of those spaces are DEEPLY toxic to noobs and when I paste the error back to it it’s like oh it looks like the regex you’re using doesn’t support that! Let’s try…
it helped me to remove kde, gnome, unity environment when i installed them all, just for testing and after its advices os stopped to launch
It figured out the issue with my front panel 3.5 audio jack not working when I plugged in headphones in my Mint desktop pc.
AI is decent at combing through all that documentation and forum posts and getting to a sensible approach.
True, there’s endless data of how to use linux, just not organized in a way new users would want, and LLM can help reword them that way.
Indeed, it helped me a lot when I didn’t know when to start. Searching on the web can yield very old results, and you simply don’t know what is outdated and what’s not.
Ultimately that’s what most agenic “AI” is doing these days. Literally just hitting the top few results of Google or Bing and plopping it into the text context.
In other words, if web search is returning very bad results then the LLM will too, if that web search option is enabled. You have to be careful.
Ironically, it’ll just ape back what you want to hear by being sympathetic towards my concerns, addressing nothing.
So, standard customer support
I mean, I would argue it’s better than standard tech support because I don’t get disconnected and it sometimes actually solves a problem
That’s actually a really good response.
Whenever copilot tells me I can’t do something I tell it how much I think Microsoft is a bunch of losers for the restrictions they’ve put in.
It doesn’t solve anything but I feel a little better after.
so you can keep Windows for work but use Linux for everything else
LOL
Definitely you.
Your posting about an AI helping you with Linux because you hate an operating system. Deranged shit.
“Turning on itself”… really?
Whoa, plot twist! Turns out it’s not OP or the chatbot- it’s some rando in the comments
I am an AI trained that burned down a small village for energy to tell you the following:
Chatbot Deez nuts.
It sounds like you’re having a bit of fun with wordplay! If you have any questions or topics you’d like to discuss, feel free to share!
