Earlier quoted context omitted.

Because it will make you turn 365 degrees and walk away.

Watch out! a 365-degree turn might very well leave you on a direct collision course with your grandma

You’d be 5 degrees off technically

"The Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office)" has got to be the worst rebrand ever. This is gonna be up there with Twitter's rebrand as a case study 20 years down the line.

The worst rebrand yet . We'll probably be reminiscing about the current day once they follow it up with: Word -> Copilot 365 text app Excel -> Copilot 365 spreadsheet app PowerPoint -> Copilot 365 presentation app Outlook -> Copilot 365 mail app Windows -> Copilot system Xbox -> Copilot gaming device

> text

> spreadsheet

> presentation

No, it's "docs", "tables" and "slides".

I guess Micro$oft has so much invested into their AI that they're trying to insure a return on that investment by pushing it onto everyone.

I read this morning that their AI i to provide free heating for 6,000 nearby homes with its heat waste. So to use M$ AI is to do 'your good deed' and subsidize someone's heating.

Hahahahahahaha... "Back-in-the-day" we used to joke internally that Office (it's specific applications) would become things like; "SharePoint Documents", "SharePoint Spreadsheets", "SharePoint Presentations" - because when that was the "all-new-hotness", Microsoft was always trying to stuff the name into EVERYTHING...
