Satya’s Singing the Same Bloody Song About Copilot Again

Oh great, Satya Nadella’s at it again banging the goddamn drum about how everyone and their dog is apparently using Microsoft’s shiny AI toy, Copilot. According to him, usage numbers are “through the roof,” which probably means they forced it down more Office users’ throats like that one Windows update you never asked for. He’s out there doing the corporate dance—“AI this, AI that”—as if stapling it to Outlook makes it the second coming of Clippy.

Naturally, the PR machine’s claiming productivity miracles. People are allegedly saving time, typing faster, making “smarter” spreadsheets—blah blah blah. What’s not mentioned, of course, is how half of them are swearing at it because it just recommended the world’s dumbest PowerPoint title again. The exec crowd is calling it “transformational.” Yeah, transformational in the same way a reboot button is after another Teams crash.

Oh, and the money bit—Microsoft’s making sweet, sweet cloud revenue off this thing, and investors are practically drooling. Copilot’s already being shoved into everything from Word to Windows to your goddamn coffee maker, if Nadella gets his way. Somewhere out there, some poor sysadmin’s fielding calls from users asking why “the AI” won’t write their quarterly report for them. Fantastic.

So yeah, Satya’s puffing his chest saying people LOVE Copilot, while the rest of us are just trying to stop it from suggesting another useless summary that reads like it was written by an over-caffeinated intern.

Reminds me of the time some middle-manager wanted me to “automate” his job with scripts so he could look efficient. I did, and funnily enough, the bastard got “automated” right out the door. Karma’s a beautiful sysadmin’s tool.
