Wait, Musk thinks grok comes from the hitchhiker's guide? What a moron

I’d rather listen to Vogon poetry than use Elon’s AI.
Got a new laptop recently. Copilot pops up, so I asked it how to permanently disable Copilot.
It gave me a wordy non-answer, along with a "fun fact" about my local area
totally relevant and not creepy at all.
Then, after I demanded it tell me how to permanently disable itself, Copilot gave me a completely wrong answer.
After specifying the "app or service" I'm using (Windows, you fucking clueless piece of shit), it then gave me a half-baked answer that called commands which weren't installed by default.
I then used duckduckgo to figure out how to install the configuration tool copilot said to use but that Windows had decided to hide from me.
Good job completely wasting my time, you ai-loving fucks at Microsoft. I don't need new reasons to nuke your shitty software and install Linux, but now I have them. If Linux had native vst3 support, I wouldn't have even booted into Windows.
Edit: Stranger in a Strange Land is a great book, and being the sci-fi novel backgrounding hippie culture, I wouldn't have expected Musk to have read it.
Windows 11 is fucking horrible.
The only reason I still have a windows machine is for PC VR gaming, and even that minimal interaction is annoying. Every major update seems exclusively be MS further enshitifying their OS. It's an hour of research and work into remove whatever new garbage they've added.
I think LLMs work just fine if you know how to use them and their limitations. Imo, they aren't ready for general use without a lecture in how they work and what to expect from them.
Personal computers were enthusiast devices in the 70s and 80s and users had to know how to write code to use them. It took a bit of time for their interfaces to become friendly for the general population. The internet in the early 90s was the same. It is a shame tech companies today want to push this AI down the throats of everyone without first figuring out what and how it should actually be used.
I think it would be a shame if we discard all LLMs today as they do have practical uses. We just shouldn't overuse them where they don't belong.
I mean... Marvin is highly entertaining.
But no, I wouldn't want him actually around me.

You don't want your doors to let out moans of excitement everytime you walk through them? You don't want a manically-depressed butler bot?
Here I am with a brain the size of a planet and they ask me to pick up a piece of paper. Call that job satisfaction? I don't.
"Your plastic pal that's fun to be with!"
Weren't Sirius Cybernetics Corporation also the first against the wall when the revolution came?
Bunch of mindless jerks...
