Microsoft Copilot terms of service have been updated to include this gem: "Copilot is for entertainment purposes only."

[jer@chirp.enworld.org]

@womble @GossiTheDog "For Entertainment Purposes Only" is the disclaimer that Tarot Readers and Astrologers have to put on their businesses in some jurisdictions to avoid being charged with fraud

The fact that they've slapped it on copilot tells me that their legal team has concerns

@GossiTheDog
"Entertainment"??? 🤨

Me: "CoPilot: What was the capitol of East Germany?"

CoPilot: "Okay. Two dogs walk into a beer hall in East Berlin..."

@GossiTheDog "These Terms don’t apply to Microsoft 365 Copilot apps or services unless that specific app or service says that these Terms apply." - Satya the Clown, after renaming Microsoft 365 to Microsoft 365 Copilot.

@GossiTheDog Satya wears a flower on his vest. "Smell it!" he says. Nobody wants to, but they all have to say, "maybe later." Just to amuse himself, even when nobody smells the flower, Satya regularly squeezes the hidden bladder. Slop squirts out of the flower. Nobody enjoys this.

You have to admit, though... trying to use it for work can be highly entertaining.
Or, well... you have to laugh, because otherwise you'd have to cry, right?

@GossiTheDog

Does that mean it will be banned in workplaces like video games because workers should be working not entertaining themselves ?

[fuzzyfuzzyfungus@cyberplace.social]

@Jer @jt_rebelo @GossiTheDog You mean that copilot won't be somehow bringing back the $1 slice to save an imaginary small business and cool inflation?

@PH7831

Verily!

@jt_rebelo @GossiTheDog Strictly speaking that's the ToS for the 'consumer' version; so it's even more expansive in its data collection; but I don't think that MS actually has anything better for Fancy Enterprise Copilot 365 (E5); except possibly more aggressive 'burn more tokens if the first time seemed too nonsensical' defaults.

At least the consumer ToS assures us that "you may stop using copilot at any time" your average Azure tenant sure doesn't make it seem that way.

@GossiTheDog i wheezed

[thepolishdispatch@mstdn.social]

@GossiTheDog So, we're calling bombing schools and civilians entertainment now?

[notknown@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog

Entertainment purposes implies expressed interest and choice. Microslop gives people no such choice regarding Copilot.

"Let me-eeeeee entertain you" -- Satya Nadella... probably.

[sodiboo@gaysex.cloud]

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social ah yes, Microsoft Copilot 365: my favorite Entertainment Software Suite

[modris@mastodon.ie]

@GossiTheDog If I want entertainment, I won’t be asking Copilot, which has been banished from my computers anyway.. So many better ways to entertain myself!

[jer@chirp.enworld.org]

@fuzzyfuzzyfungus @jt_rebelo @GossiTheDog At the end of that commercial I imagine the guy being unable to pay his rent because the budget that copilot hallucinated for him to bring back the $1 slice doesn't add up and he's been losing .75 on every slice he sells

[simonzerafa@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog

Smells like a pending lawsuit in the offing ...

[dnkboston@apobangpo.space]

@GossiTheDog And who among us wasn't already thinking fun and giggles when we were working with Excel?

[cityhallin@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog This part makes it sound like a little dictator buddy.

@GossiTheDog Well, well. The ideal "productivity booster" for any business-related activity using a Windows PC, which Microslop has been pushing desperately and obsessively onto every Windows user on the planet, in fact even onto hardware, demanding a new key on keyboards from laptop-manufacturing partners, now turns out to be "for entertainment purposes only." Well, well, well, you don't say...

New Microslop motto to expect next ought to be therefore something like: "Entertainment, the new key to business productivity"
