AIBU to get frustrated with Copilot almost every day at work?

AIBU to lose my rag with Copilot on an almost daily basis?

It's the only AI tool we can use with one client because of the enterprise protection but OMG, especially on diagrams it's so crap.

The amount of times I ask it to change something and, like a puppy it comes back to me saying "look I've followed your instructions exactly" to find it's done absolutely nothing of the sort.

Then the sycophancy "oh that's on me..." urgh. The promises it won't happen again.

Then it happens again immediately.

Drives me potty. I'd never use it but just occasionally it comes out with absolute gold. I then always say thank you (for when our new AI overlords take over the world but also because I think treating AI like crap leads you to treating people like crap. Or perhaps I'm overthinking it...)

Anyway. I am still embarrassed to say I will type on a daily basis "OMG Copilot, I'm appalled at what you've just done."

AIBU to lose my rag sometimes with Copilot? Is it bad for society if we start treating AI tools badly?

Love this quote: @GasperyJacquesRoberts "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I’ll ask an AI.' Now they have two problems."
