GPT-4 powered

thanks for the warning!

now let me find something that works instead

GPT-4 powered browser

No faster way to get me to avoid your product than by jamming AI where it's not needed

I work in IT at a company who uses outlook, but has locked down the phones so the users can’t install anything.

I can say without a reason of the doubt that outlook on Android is hateful.

It’s still a 2010 era android app with non of the desktop features working. Like the signature not syncing with your saved ones. And focused inbox hiding important emails.

But since the phones are locked down. These dark patten ads are twice as annoying since the user thinks there phone is broken. They just removed the Microsoft 2fa prompts on setup. But I saw this and almost cried.

Don’t assume that users are smart enough to read or understand how this works. They press buttons until it works. If we didn’t force google play to not allow edge to download our users would’ve been in a much harder situation to support.

I really wish users would learn the slightest bit how to use their shit

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 73 points 13 hours ago

gpt-4 powered browser

kill me

[–] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 43 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

GPT-4 powered browser? Like they needed to make Edge an even less attractive offering or what?

[–] Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 13 hours ago

It's like how they're adding the useless copilot key to every single laptop that ever is released

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 11 points 11 hours ago

they are desperate for someone to use their spyware filled Browser with AI shoved down your throat

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 88 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Why the fuck would I want a browser with AI?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 42 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

This could be asked of a thousand million other products in the past three years.

But hey, here I am replying to this comment from my AI powered pants zipper, so...

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 18 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Oh neat how’s that? I’m using my buttplug. Really wish it had WiFi. The cat 6 cable can get limiting

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

It has its ups and downs

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 hours ago

That's a safety tether.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck outlook, the app is trash.

Nine works great for exchange servers, if you can't escape the Microsoft infrastructure altogether.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like the new reviews say otherwise

[–] viking@infosec.pub 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I've been using it for 12+ years, and still do to this day. The only thing that changed is that you have to use the Microsoft authenticator app to log on.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Oh, that's not too bad. I'm stuck using that for a bunch of things

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 58 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

"recommended by microsoft" kills me.

[–] aim_at_me@lemmy.nz 1 points 28 minutes ago

I also recommend myself.

[–] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 7 hours ago

GPT-4 “powered” lol

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 19 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I don’t know what fucking idiot they think is going to say to themselves “well fuck if Microsoft recommends it that’s the way we go!”

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 1 points 2 hours ago

Have you not been paying attention for the past 50 years?

[–] ElectricWaterfall@lemmy.zip 18 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I think the average user sees recommended and just goes with it.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)
[–] ElectricWaterfall@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

Tbh a lot of users might just click without even reading what this message says.

[–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 25 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Can't wait for GPT in my email client, so that it falls for phishing schemes when I'm relaxing.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I can tell you aren't using outlook

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah the place I work implemented the "enterprise version" of outlook with their garbage AI built in.

I've never used the AI once, and if they don't give a shit about company data that's fine by me

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 1 points 27 minutes ago

I'd take that in a heartbeat. I want my meetings and emails summarised, minutes written for me.
That's the kind of daily crap I don't want to have to do myself.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 49 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Oh boy, a ChatGPT powered browser! Maybe it can hallucinate what I bookmarked and lose or leak all my passwords ☺️

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 hours ago

Autofilling all URLs to something completely different could be a fun way to browse

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 10 points 12 hours ago

I'm surprised it gives you the choice instead of the usual Microsoft nag: Set Default or Later.

[–] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

It's not even bad they're just annoying. Currently the only one I'd use is firefox. It has all the features without the bad things so far. Opera has many ads and also ai and a crypto wallet so i'm going with firefox...

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 8 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

This is a shitshow. I use open source mobile office suite and Outlook continually refuses to open PDF or other documents as nothing is installed, so would I like to use their bag of shit instead.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)
[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 4 points 12 hours ago

Just had a look. Much appreciated, thanks mate.

[–] brokenlcd@feddit.it 2 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Quick question, what suite are you using on mobile? Haven't managed to find mutch open source stuff to edit word documents.

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 hours ago

I use CollabraOffice and also muPDF. Collabra is great for viewing and some minor work, but I try to use libreoffice on my laptop running Debian for real productivity.

[–] cooligula@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago

I use onlyoffice :)

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 15 hours ago

God ChatGPT sucks so much.

[–] ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

surely you get this only if you have edge already installed?

if you just stop edging on your device, wouldn't this pop-up never appear?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

Confirming, you get this even if you don't have Edge installed. It will take you to the store page.

[–] Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 13 hours ago

No, I don't have edge and don't want it.

[–] nogooduser@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Lots of apps override the default behaviour when opening links and ask you to use a specific browser. I actually do use Edge and have been asked if I wanted to use Chrome.

[–] LostWanderer@lemmynsfw.com 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

ROFL This level of desperation goes to show how shit the actual experience of using Edge truly is. It wasn't bad, before they injected Edge with AI bullshit and bloated it with other trash.

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It's not any worse than Chrome, which isn't saying much. Firefox is still the best user friendly browser, IMO.
