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

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

"IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES & WARNINGS...

- WITHOUT LIMITING SECTION 12 OF THE MICROSOFT SERVICES AGREEMENT IN ANY WAY, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF CLARITY, WE DO NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND ABOUT COPILOT. For example, we can’t promise that any Copilot’s Responses won’t infringe someone else’s rights (like their copyrights, trademarks, or rights of privacy) or defame them. You are solely responsible if you choose to publish or share Copilot’s Responses publicly or with any other person."

@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"

@GossiTheDog so, if my boss tells me to use copilot, can i refuse by pointing out that it's for entertainment purposes only and shouldn't be used for work?

@screwturn @GossiTheDog I hope you wrote this message using copilot !

@GossiTheDog I am not entertained!

[nielsa@mas.to]

@GossiTheDog afaik not a recent addition

[raffitz@icosahedron.website]

@GossiTheDog I do feel like CEOs, CFOs, and heads of HR have been getting tremendous entertainment value out of copilot and workers' suffering, yes.

[csgraves@turtleisland.social]

@Fedihacker @GossiTheDog guess I'm a nobody then, because I read the Register all the time. Bold of you to presume.

It's not the customer that's being "entertained" by AI spyware.

It's the fossil fuel industry that is entertained by the conversion of general purpose computing into surveillance platforms.
