CoPilot is a good feature and will be built into every major desktop OS

9 months ago by Auth to c/unpopularopinion

Pressing the copilot button to instantly bring up a text box where you can interact with an LLM is amazing UI/UX for productivity. LLMs are by far the best way to retrieve information(that doesnt need to be correct).

If this had been released with Agentic features that allow it to search the web, use toolscripts like fetching time/date and stuff from the OS, use recall, properly integrate with the microsoft app suite. It would be game changing.

We already have proof that this is a popular feature for users since its been integrated in every mobile phone for the past 10 years.

What is the point in retrieving information if it isn’t correct?

To lower the general populations IQ and make it easier to hide misinformation and propaganda inside of Ai

specifically NEED. Very few things in our day to day life NEED to be correct. Typically its good to be correct but our usecases can handle being wrong because its either low stakes or we will be diving deeper into the topic as we narrow down our information search.

We do these kinds of searches all the time. Everytime you ask an average person a question you're preforming one of these searches. Everytime something pops into your head and you want a quick answer you're preforming one of these searches. When you search for information online you're generally preforming one of these kinds of searches.

An example could be I want to know a few of the popular python libs for interacting with atlassian. It gives me a list of some libs and links and I can go check them out.

I would much rather be directed to correct information than be told information that may not be correct. Bad information causes me to waste my time and money.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

6. Defend your opinion

This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
