I have discovered that, unfortunately, we cannot upload sound files, so you’ll just hafta hear this line from Star Trek’s Dr McCoy in your head:

I’m guessing it’s going to be more than Word. You probably need to find the setting in all the office apps.

Microsoft has plugged AI into Notepad and Paint, so probably everything.

UGH! I’m on linux, but I have to use outlook for work… I should look into whether or not they are scraping that, too. If someone comes across something about it, let me know.

However, if this was expressed to Trump, or Elon… or heck most of MAGA, I would have a hard time disagreeing.

Interesting they hide it under things like Giphy in the Teams settings, meaning you lose those additional bits if you opt out…

While the case isn’t over, the rejection of the preliminary injunction shows that Levenson believes the defendants are likely to win. “The manner in which RNH used Grammarly—wholesale copying and pasting of language directly into the draft script that he submitted—powerfully supports Defendants’ conclusion that RNH knew that he was using AI in an impermissible fashion,” Levenson wrote.
While “the emergence of generative AI may present some nuanced challenges for educators, the issue here is not particularly nuanced, as there is no discernible pedagogical purpose in prompting Grammarly (or any other AI tool) to generate a script, regurgitating the output without citation, and claiming it as one’s own work,” the order said.

“We are always working on how we can make our systems more robust against this type of abuse.”
Wow, just… wow. That’s not just grotesque, that’s doubly grotesque. Not only are they explicitly admitting that they’re actively working against the desperate means that artists use to protect their work (in the face of AI companies who disregard their wishes and rights), but they’re characterizing that self-protection as abuse. I’d love to see someone make them squirm and demand they explain how that’s “abuse,” and who or what, exactly, is supposedly being “abused.” And then give them a good smack.

Whomp-whomp: AI PCs make users less productive
Those using personal computers with built-in AI services are less productive than those using traditional PCs, according to a study conducted by Intel.
The chipmaker, which is quite keen to see people buy the AI PCs sold by its hardware partners, came to this conclusion following a commissioned survey [PDF] of 6,000 people in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom.
