They could kill the meme by...not producing slop.

Could they? You'll note that the source article does not describe even a single example of Copilot, the product the discord server was dedicated to, producing slop.

  • At one time, Microsoft produced some very high quality software. Excel was an absolutely amazing product in the '90s. That quality has been on a steady decline, and that decline has quickened since Microsoft started investing heavily in OpenAI. Github once had pretty good uptime, now it forces AI features on us and is down a couple of times a month. Windows is full of in-your-face advertising and dedicated AI buttons. These features are not what people want, and don't help anyone. Thus; MicroSlop.
