One time, I was using Google maps, and construction kept me from taking the planned route. Google kept telling me to turn at every intersection.

"Hey Google, shut up!"

"...Silencing voice navigation."

I felt like I kicked a robo-puppy, but it got the job done.

At my final tech job, they were gearing up to fire me, and so they gave me the task of writing unit tests for a golang-based k8s deployer that was somewhere around 700k lines. They specifically told me to use Copilot for it, and for just about every function I tried to unit test, it tried to make sure that .onclick() was still working.

Yeah they ended up firing me.

For the fun of it I once told Gemini’s overview I wish it would shut the fuck up. It gave me links to anger management classes. lol

This week at work, my team reported a major system outage. There was a lengthy conference call to solve the outage and afterwards someone (not from my team) ran a transcript of the call through copilot to generate an executive summary and sent it up to top level leadership.

Copilot misunderstood the relevance of various comments (surprise!) and effectively reported that my team reported the outage almost an hour after we became aware of it. This caused us to get yelled at by senior leadership for failing to report a major issue in a timely manner. We then had to waste time proving that we had escalated the issue appropriately within minutes and listen to the call recording again to figure out where the incorrect reference came from and provide quotes from the transcript to explain why the summary was wrong.

So far there have been some very small use cases where I have found LLMs slightly useful but mostly they cause me more work than they save (by a lot). And yet, I keep hearing more and more from my company that they want "AI" to analyze things for us.

Ctrl+F is more effective at finding key points in a large document than ai ever will be

[–] sevan@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago

I definitely agree with that.

Ask it to burst the bubble and burn down the system.

Some how PC updated automatically. Of course it reinstalled copiliot. First thing I did was tell it to fuck off and uninstall.

Anything else I should be looking for to uninstall or switch off? Already adjusted telemetry and try to max out privacy settings while using Windows 11? One of these days IMA figure out linux

Only because of the cost after switching to usage-based pricing. Before it was an invaluable tool, now it's an overpriced failure. Now it can fuck off and I'll use a local model.
