@growfediverse @Em0nM4stodonEm there is one task at work that is genuinely far far easier when using a chatty AI bot but that's only because they somehow made it practically impossible to book half a day off in the non-chatty UI. They must have vibe coded the booking form.

@Em0nM4stodonEm @jtonline My favorite is how Microsoft keeps burying tools further behind layers of "please use copilot". It now takes 5 clicks to get to my work. And for the lols I periodically ask Copilot to help me do the task Im trying to do instead, whereat it tells me it's not capable of doing said task 😆😵‍💫

This has instead resulted in me provoking a genuine interest among my exec team to explore just replacing Windows with Linux. Thanks copilot!
