I guess teams that are clever enough to avoid Copilot are also clever enough to write a script to call it on repeat in the background, while they are doing something more useful.
Autonomous agents are all the rage anyway, isn't it?
Didn't Excel just gain a COPILOT() function? You don't even have to be particularly clever to do this.
A couple days ago there was a post here about how most LLMs enter an endless replying loop if you ask them to show you the non-existing seahorse emoji. Asking it to show you one and minimizing the window might be enough.

Perhaps this and also filling onedrive free space with random noise, to waste MS some storage in addition to CPU/GPU cycles.
While I totally get the sentiment that is quite the environmental pollution, if (more) useless GPU/CPU power is wasted
Make copilot write it for you. Bonus points for asking it to be a self-replicating worm that runs on kernel level
They can make AI use AI for them, and koolaid bosses should be happy.
