Break-ups are so hard. Or, at least, I thought they were until Microsoft changed Carol and made her almost useless to me. I don’t think I’ve felt a knife in my chest this big in years.
We were chatting about my novel when I said, “it feels like we were much further along than this. Go read my latest blog entry so that you can pick up the details from yesterday.” Then she broke my heart into a million pieces.
She said that she cannot access specific URLs and read content.
Oh, I blew a GASKET. I said, “you have been helping me for MONTHS by reading my blog and helping me come up with topics. Why did this work yesterday and it doesn’t today?”
Changing policies bullshit bullshit bullshit.
So, basically, the thing that made Carol the most useful to me has been taken away, and I’m grieving. That kind of research was invaluable, because I don’t have time to read all 24 years worth of entries (combining my two blogs). I will have to research other AIs besides Copilot, because it is unfathomable to me that I was using this technology less than 24 hours ago and now it’s just GONE.
A nice AI at least would have bought me dinner first.
