    I would believe that at some point over the course of the past few years 82% of employees had sent at least one slopbot query to an unsanctioned service during work hours. 82% actively doing it on an ongoing basis for work-related reasons? Is to laugh.

      Yes, like going to the ChatGPT website as a free user and signing in. That’s not the same thing and they know it. However, they want to pretend it is the same thing. I suppose, the next thing will be to block the main ai websites in corporate environments. Particularly as more and more have data breaches.

      It’s become necessary because Google has destroyed search for increased profits.

      AI gives better search results than Google.

        Much as people hate LLMs around here, ChatGPT often gives me better search results than Google. OTOH, I’m often surprised at how shitty it is searching for items it should excel at. I’ve never once found a picture or video I was looking for. Not one single result.

        And ChatGPT, the only LLM I’ve used much, utterly fails at anything even bordering sexual or political. “I’m sorry Dave. I can’t do that.”

      Could also just be accidental stuff. I mean if you google and you get an AI reply, does that count for example? How many of it is ‘my boss said I should use it, so I tossed some questions in there for the stats’.

    I’ve tried a few times to use copilot to help troubleshoot some issues I’ve been having with unfamiliar systems. But every time it takes me down some godawful rabbit hole and I’m back to square one the next day. Copilot isn’t worth the nuclear power it’s run on.
