Microslop SharePhont™
Saw this article from Microslop the other day about their MDASH copilot model competing with Mythos for bug finding/fixing.
And here's the image they went with for the flowchart of what the AI does... Complete with overlapping text and the worst layout I've ever seen.
Zero humans proofed this.

It's the Combigent Directive
You missed "Microsoft 36S" and "Intemal Docs"
Yeah those are very weird errors. Not like AI hallucinations. But more like OCR errors.
I wonder if they imported another PowerPoint and then the AI made images out of it to process it. That would be a very inefficient way to do it.
Seems perfectly cromulent to me
Combigent is too nice a sounding word to lack any real meaning it needs one.
It also looks completely plausible for a word. I can see why an AI trained to make plausible-looking images generated it.
Now I'm curious to see what other perfectly English-looking words it comes up with
How dqre you say such mean things about my computer boyfriend you're just an irrational meanie I bet all the words you used here are fake too!
A classy male driver of a combine?
Skilled with the use of a comb
Combigent (adj.)
Definition: A word that seems like a real word but actually isn't
I guess it'll be nice to have a spare word lying around for when a wordless meaning emerges
They morged it https://nvie.com/posts/15-years-later/
Anyone remember how much nicer the world felt before we all realized nobody in charge of anything with any real power has any idea what the fuck they're doing?
Well back then we thought everyone in charge was evil. Back then we had Krutschev, Nixon etc. Always nuclear war looming. And Reagan with this trickle downs, the Bush wars over made-up WMDs etc.
I don't think there was ever really a positive period. Maybe the 90s which was kinda the high point. Economics were good, America and NATO was the undisputed world power, nobody took global warming seriously yet and the internet was promising a great future.
Then after 2000 we had the dot com crash, 9/11, the resulting wars, Russia becoming an enemy again, the financial world crisis, the rise of the internet as a surveillance tool, global warming, the pandemic, exploding house prices everywhere.
Really pretty much exactly after the change of the century everything turned to shit.
Economics were good if you lived in a western country. Former Soviet Block, Yugoslavia, and global South countries were having a rough go of thing in the 90s
They know what they are doing. Their goals just don't align with the rest of humanity.
The mistake we make is in assuming that government choices are born of incompetence... The actions of empire are not incompetent. They are not intended to serve you or the citizens, but to serve material interests, the plunder of land, natural resources, markets, and cheap labor".

RIP to the GOAT
Edit: He talks about it in the lecture starting around 15:35. Though the quote above is from his book "against empire"

No that was a long time ago for some of us it's always been like this you were just insulated by privilege
We didn't all realize that at the same point. Some of us have known that for a very long time.
Thanks for notifying, I hate to know it's true (no insult intended)
who morged that? Why does that happen continvously?
What a combigent, inbiltum response!
It's AI generated
Thank you for joining the class
It's a reference to another Microsoft classic: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/microsoft-caught-plagiarizing-graphics-with-ai-slop-microsoft-continvoucly-morged-my-diagram-there-for-sure
every time we see AI mix up *U* and *V* we just imagine it not as a machine, but instead as a european renaissance-era writer who accidentally time traveled into the current year and promptly got locked up in a cubicle with a real-time brain scanner wired up that interfaces with chatbot programs seen online
for extra hallucinations simply assume the consumption of one (1) early 1900s fire extinguisher's worth of carbon tetrafluoride as part of your scribe's daily fluid intake
Is that why tech bros keep trying to bring back phrenology?
Yes, that’s the point
Did AI make these slides?
It combigated them.
A veritable answer.
It's a perfectly cromulent word
Product of continvoucly morged slop.
I'm about to combigate my foot with your ass!
(sorry, just felt right somehow)
Doesn't siund like AI. Sounds more like they fired all the competent, expensive employees and replaced them with AI, than realized AI wasn't doing so well and this was made by the few incompetent, cheap employees that were left.
It would be really funny if it wasn't so sad.
~~It almost makes me think a human worker intentionally made these slides. LLMs don't really have the creativity to make typos, which is how I can sometimes catch LLM comments on here. Also "SharePhont" is pretty funny~~
Unless they used an image generator to make the slides, which would be extra stupid
edit: turns out it WAS the extra stupid
Always bet on stupid
Oh it's definitely extra stupid. Looks like the slide was made whole-cloth by an image generator, not like the text was generated by an LLM and pasted in.
Image generators make typos all the time (if you can call them that).

According to Microsoft's own terms and conditions, AI is supposed to be used for entertainment purposes only. They're breaking their own terms and conditions here.
Did their marketing department read the TOS? because that is not how copilot is advertised.
Did their marketing department read the TOS?
They asked Copilot to summarize it for them.
And yet, aren't they entertaining us with the results?
I was entertained by this slide. Laughed my ass off in fact
Combigent is a perfectly cromulent word! Veritably cromulent
Not a single one of those words is cromulent, I swear on my aunt's borschtum.
Microslop Cope A lot
I don't see the probulent here
Clown corporation. If I were employed by Microsoft, I'd probably be embarrassed to admit that in public.
So it's search engine that costs 10 times the energy.
Of course it costs more, classic search engines lack the combigency and veritability Copilot provides.
And gives you the wrong information 30% of the time.
You should have a look at some of the official PowerShell scripts they've made to assist with managing, installing, and decommissioning Exchange Servers.
One had the word group misspelled consistently the entire way through it. Another had a wonderful comment noting that an internal function (to manage something with AD permissions or deep internals of the Exchange Server) that looked misspelled was in fact spelled correctly, because the command had a typo in the real name of it.
That sounds like human errors.
Combigent is a perfectly cromulent word.
I solemnly swear to god, I posted this exact same thing before I saw your post lol
A noble spirit combiggens the smallest man.
There are also three "Data Flow" labels (two for the same arrow even) and I'm pretty sure it says Intemal Docs, which makes sense for and AI to mess up too because of similar m and rn look.
Combigent is a perfectly cromulent word.
Microslop boomers are the worst
"I published the Intemal Docs because I thought it was a project name. I'm sorry. Would you like some best practices on damage mitigation?"
Spelling and grammar is not valued in the engineering disciplines, especially when there is a sizable population of the workforce for which English is a second language.
Edit: only on Lemmy do you get downvoted for saying true things based on your real experience in the world.
