no mouse, no keyboard, no user

Those annoying things that just go on and on about wanting to talk to a real person and expecting their software to fulfil their needs instead of Satyas personal vision? Cut em loose we don't need em!

Fuck. Microsoft.

This really ignores that a vast majority of people appreciate some tactility and feedback on what they do. Millions if not billions of dollars have been spent researching the proper feedback to provide to users. I admit some workflows can be overly clumsy or burdensome, but even assuming AI functioned correctly and did the things it's supposed to this is still incredibly delusional.

I mean, I don't expect anything from Microsoft anymore, but the disconnect here between what they are attempting to promise and what people even want is growing at alarming levels.

You mean you are not excited about gaming with voice prompts?

Me: "run forward but not too fast. Aim at the balls and shoot just before it attacks you back and then reload and turn left while crunching."

AI: According to Wikipedia, to run forward but not too fast is considered a fallacy. A better way to say it would be "Sprint forward while accelerating"

The future will be fun!

"Aim at the balls”
“I’m sorry, this request is against content guidelines so I cannot comply”

To me, this sounds like the fantasy of slave ownership all over again. They wouldn't demand exact written orders, either.

Ah remember paperless offices, cant stop the future.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

My last office was almost paperless! When I started I was inventorying the IT infrastructure and asked about printers. "Meh, there's one over there, think it still works."

[-] Soyweiser@awful.systems 4 points 1 year ago

The early paperless offices were 'paper is explicitly banned'. It was really weird, and they seemed so proud.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Never worked in one but I remember the hype!

You can really tell that the tech industry just blanket laid off all of the UX researchers, otherwise they would have explained to them how dumb this is

I was already as done with Microsoft as a person could be, but this is so disgusting.
