Yes, that's why it's in Office
A salesman for an AI consulting company made the comment that we don't expect perfection from humans, so why should we expect it from AI? He was smug about it, too, like it was his big gotcha. Joke's on him, I'm the one that talked the bosses out of spending money with them.
“Is your AI accountable for mistakes? All these idiots are…”
That's such a bad argument too. The whole point of technology is to help perfect the output of humans. Why would we buy technology that is known to not do that
"You can get pretty good results most of the time and save money on labor!" Not like our whole business model is focused on expertise and compliance or anything. Surely our clients won't mind a few little mistakes here and there, as a treat.
Then why are they promoting it, in a pizza ad, as letting CoPilot handle the spreadsheets. Do they not trust their own product!?
They want your money, not your lawsuits.
Deploy everywhere, trust nowhere. Bold strategy.
Standard fart operating procedure
for entertainment purposes only, not serious use — firm pushing AI hard
Reminds me of these Autopiloting cars LOL
They, do it all by themselves, fully and autonomously and are pushed so hard as well, but you may not rely on them, never take them for serious.
Just like Fox news
That was my first thought, they're using the Fox News legal defense
Proposed revision: Do not use Copilot for business purposes.
But also don't look at our advertisements.
Trillion dollar investments, dishing out private nuclear power plants, redistributing water allocation nationwide, using it in every level of every structure of society and it's just for entertainment.
Anyone tell the politicians they bent over like hand worn muppets for a gag or do you think they already know and simply enjoy being treated for the fools that they are?
If joke, why required shaped?
Are you not entertained?!
In other words: Snake oil salesman back paddles after the ice he‘s standing on got very thin.
I think you were trying to say "backpedals."
