I wrote an email in Outlook explaining that a group sent out a proposal
that included a specific data commitment without consulting the
stakeholders.

They said, although they put the dates in a document that was being
published to vendors and to the stakeholders, that they weren't really
binding until others weighed in. They were going to get people to chime
in on the dates, but didn't know when they'd get to it.

I hate it when people try to slip requirememts in then complain that
it'd be too much work to change it. That's a You Problem.

I reminded them again that we needed sign-off from the stakeholders,
wouldn't sign off unless our needs were met, that I've reminded them
multiple times and that we need to get a decision from everyone before
making a committment.

Upon checking my grammar, my usual signoff:

Regards,
Kurt

was highlighted in red. Outlook wanted to change "Regards" to "Retards".

Must be that CoPilot for Outlook they've been talking about.

I fight with this nonsense daily at work. One day last week (and only
for the internal team) I didn't fix anything copoilot changed. We saved
the email's for the day, and I whipped up a quick spreadsheet that showed
how many times copilot tried to get me fired. It was a whopping 25 times.

I counted multiple times per email, If I remember right I sent 17 email's
and out of those 17, 25 times it changed my spelling or grammar to be
something offensive.

I mean sure... I am not real PC and thankfully most of the team in my
location understands I don't do nice... My typical email would be:

"Find attached report..." When I email to another division I have to
remember they don't know me so it get's:

"Good Morning x, Sure hope your week is going well. Blah blah blah blah
blah balh blah Find attached report... blah blah blah blah blah blah"

Which kills me inside. Why do we have to waste all that time!?!?

Man, if AI aggressively tried to replace you...

It's got a vested interest in getting you fired. I think I need a drink
now.

If an AI calls me a "carbon unit", I'm starting the war against the
machines.

I wonder why all of my emails via QWK on realitycheck show up here double-spaced - I don't see any settings on my end that would affect
this.

The military calls AI drones and things "synthetic operators" now which is only slightly terrifying.

They prefer the term "artificial soldier". Can an AI drone be awarded a
medal?
