Copilot on teams Android keeps turning itself on. I looked through docs & found I was doing things correctly. So I opened it up out of frustration.

I know it means nothing, but I had to say (type?) it out loud. I have really come to hate Windows since 11 was forced on us at work.

Ironically, it’ll just ape back what you want to hear by being sympathetic towards my concerns, addressing nothing.

Don’t know who’s more pathetic, the chatbot or me 🥲

      It figured out the issue with my front panel 3.5 audio jack not working when I plugged in headphones in my Mint desktop pc.

      AI is decent at combing through all that documentation and forum posts and getting to a sensible approach.

      Indeed, it helped me a lot when I didn’t know when to start. Searching on the web can yield very old results, and you simply don’t know what is outdated and what’s not.

      Honestly it’s really helped me with spreadsheet formulae and more complex regex search and replace terms. And it’s so pleasant and patient about all of it. So many of those spaces are DEEPLY toxic to noobs and when I paste the error back to it it’s like oh it looks like the regex you’re using doesn’t support that! Let’s try…

      True, there’s endless data of how to use linux, just not organized in a way new users would want, and LLM can help reword them that way.

      Even people who’ve been at it for years. I am skeptical of the AI hype bubble as much as anyone here, but it’s been very useful for fixing things in Linux. Just in the past years it helped me (among others):

      • Find an obscure bug that was reported that same day in the kernel, and helped me switch to the LTS kernel to prevent these issues.
      • Help me setup up a random 35mm film scanner that I found with cups, and then help me set up a win XP VM when that didn’t work out
      • Help me fix bluray playback yesterday after VLC suddenly randomly started to refuse playing it.
