    One of my co-workers is pro co-pilot for some fucking reason. He actually paid for his own subscription to use on his work machine. 'Cause he’s… I don’t know. He’s not an idiot, but he does idiotic things.

    That aside, he used the co-pilot app in Outlook to search for an email, and co-pilot in Outlook tells him it cannot search inside of fucking Outlook for your emails.

    He looked at me, and he asked me, “What am I supposed to do with this?”

    My response was, “the only reason it’s there is for you to tell it to draft you an email that someone else will then receive, and put into co-pilot to then re-condense back into the original one sentence blurb that you crafted the email with.”

    He’s paying $20 a month out of his own pocket that he’s at work working for in order to have software shoved into his software that does not do what you need it to do and cannot do what you need it to do.

    I think the computing space would be a better place if every person that worked with Microsoft either quit or, like, I don’t know, volunteered for lobotomy.
