Microsoft Is Drowning
The Internet in AI Slop

Microslop vibecoded the "Your Products" tab into oblivion. Resulting in the fun and quirky side effects, that all our MAK keys are inaccessible until they fix it. Fun!

I gave Copilot a staircase puzzle made of offset n x n x n cubes and asked how many unit cubes a perfectly straight needle would pass through from the top-left-front corner of the 10th step to the bottom-right-back corner of the 1st step. Copilot answered: "Short version: it passes through more cubes in the 10th step. In fact: Step 1: the needle passes through 1 unit cube. Step 10: the needle passes through 10 unit cubes." I know the answer is not this.

I manage around 100 pages of compliance and process guidance for a large community. Microsoft and search engines frequently misrepresent national requirements as local ones, as though only our institution requires them.

Opening File Explorer, creating or closing tabs, and opening context menus all feel sluggish. Dark mode also still throws "flashbangs" in File Explorer.

Going to Outlook -> Settings -> General -> Privacy and data -> Privacy Settings and turning off optional connected experiences used to work to disable Copilot features, but now it does not. It wastes space and hurts the user experience, especially for school districts where some users are too young to use it.

I assume Microslop makes Windows updates with Copilot, and Copilot with its bad hallucinations was the source of a lot of the bad stuff with Windows lately. Microslop wants Copilot to keep existing because they will "make" money, but I am certain they would get way more customers if they shift+deleted Copilot and bloatware from Windows.

When you make a new Windows account, regardless of whether a Microsoft account is logged in, it auto-adds the Copilot button to the taskbar. Just download a Windows 11 ISO, make a virtual machine, and look at the taskbar, or make a new account on an existing Windows 11 PC.

Edge and Copilot both have AI slop that seems to make your PC slower by a lot. Removing them made my PC faster by 40% according to benchmarks.

Searched for a product recall notice on Bing. The AI summary confidently stated the product was recalled in March 2025 with a link to a press release. The link was dead, the product was never recalled, and the supposed press release never existed. The fabricated summary appeared above all real search results.

Asked Copilot in Windows 11 how to free up disk space. It suggested running a command that would delete the entire WindowsApps folder, which would break all installed Microsoft Store apps including Windows Security. The suggestion was presented as a safe, recommended cleanup step with no warning.

Every time Microsoft Word updates, the Copilot button reappears in the ribbon despite being disabled in settings. It takes up toolbar space, causes slight UI lag when hovering, and there is no group policy or registry key to permanently suppress it across updates.

Googled a specific Azure API error code. The top 3 results were AI-generated blogs on Medium and substack that contained fabricated code examples. The official Microsoft documentation appeared on page 2. The AI blogs confidently explained the error with completely wrong solutions.
