This is not AI, AI would have made it much better. I mean, the only thing LLMs are quite good at is writing words, it is uncommon they misspell a word.
LLMs misspell words in generated images. Modern models aren’t as bad as they were a year or two ago, but we don’t know what model was used here.
It’s Microslop. The people who had any resemblance of work ethics left a long time ago. No one still working there gives any shits about QA - especially not the management.
AI doesn’t misspell words. It’s more like hypercorrect which reveals it.
Unless MS uses some very outdated models of course.
Unless the whole thing is a generated image, then it can certainly misspell words.
Rephrasing: I’ve used AI a lot and I haven’t seen it misspell anything in at least a year. Even in pictures these days. Depends on the model, of course.

Veritable answer? Indubitably!
Saw this article from Microslop the other day about their MDASH copilot model competing with Mythos for bug finding/fixing.
And here’s the image they went with for the flowchart of what the AI does… Complete with overlapping text and the worst layout I’ve ever seen.
Zero humans proofed this.
I know this! This is a slide deck which only makes sense in an interactive way, where the steps are revealed after one another. Probably straight from a presentation.
Don’t attribute bad work to AI which can be done in the same way by an incompetent human.
As someone who’s career depended on presentations for a while:
Never build animations in-slide (unless they are purely aesthetic).
Instead:
Build multiple slides which duplicate the previous and add new boxes with transitions on the slides. Bonus: change the title on each build to cover the key point.
Sure, they take longer to edit. But that leave-behind export to PDF always works.

You missed “Microsoft 36S” and “Intemal Docs”
Yeah those are very weird errors. Not like AI hallucinations. But more like OCR errors.
I wonder if they imported another PowerPoint and then the AI made images out of it to process it. That would be a very inefficient way to do it.
Maybe the AI has had an OCR pass grafted onto its output processing to make it seem more capable of producing text. AI image generation usually makes weird alien looking text, I could imagine someone deciding to add on an automatic cleanup step to try to make it less obviously AI.
Combigent is too nice a sounding word to lack any real meaning it needs one.
Combigent [kəmˈbʌɪdʒ(ə)nt] {adj} A portmanteau of combine and emergent, describing sth. derived from combination, the ability to combine newly discovered facts or bullshit hallucinated by AI. Examples: The LLM gave a combigent response. The manager’s presentation was quite combigent.
Combigent (adj.)
Definition: A word that seems like a real word but actually isn’t
It also looks completely plausible for a word. I can see why an AI trained to make plausible-looking images generated it.
Now I’m curious to see what other perfectly English-looking words it comes up with
How dqre you say such mean things about my computer boyfriend you’re just an irrational meanie I bet all the words you used here are fake too!
A classy male driver of a combine?
I guess it’ll be nice to have a spare word lying around for when a wordless meaning emerges
Skilled with the use of a comb
Anyone remember how much nicer the world felt before we all realized nobody in charge of anything with any real power has any idea what the fuck they’re doing?
They know what they are doing. Their goals just don’t align with the rest of humanity.
The mistake we make is in assuming that government choices are born of incompetence… The actions of empire are not incompetent. They are not intended to serve you or the citizens, but to serve material interests, the plunder of land, natural resources, markets, and cheap labor".

RIP to the GOAT
Edit: He talks about it in the lecture starting around 15:35. Though the quote above is from his book “against empire”
Well back then we thought everyone in charge was evil. Back then we had Krutschev, Nixon etc. Always nuclear war looming. And Reagan with this trickle downs, the Bush wars over made-up WMDs etc.
I don’t think there was ever really a positive period. Maybe the 90s which was kinda the high point. Economics were good, America and NATO was the undisputed world power, nobody took global warming seriously yet and the internet was promising a great future.
Then after 2000 we had the dot com crash, 9/11, the resulting wars, Russia becoming an enemy again, the financial world crisis, the rise of the internet as a surveillance tool, global warming, the pandemic, exploding house prices everywhere.
Really pretty much exactly after the change of the century everything turned to shit.
Economics were good if you lived in a western country. Former Soviet Block, Yugoslavia, and global South countries were having a rough go of thing in the 90s
Yeah but the future was bright back then.
We didn’t all realize that at the same point. Some of us have known that for a very long time.
No that was a long time ago for some of us it’s always been like this you were just insulated by privilege
Thanks for notifying, I hate to know it’s true (no insult intended)
Seems perfectly cromulent to me
who morged that? Why does that happen continvously?
What a combigent, inbiltum response!
It’s AI generated
Thank you for joining the class
It’s a reference to another Microsoft classic: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/microsoft-caught-plagiarizing-graphics-with-ai-slop-microsoft-continvoucly-morged-my-diagram-there-for-sure
every time we see AI mix up *U* and *V* we just imagine it not as a machine, but instead as a european renaissance-era writer who accidentally time traveled into the current year and promptly got locked up in a cubicle with a real-time brain scanner wired up that interfaces with chatbot programs seen online
for extra hallucinations simply assume the consumption of one (1) early 1900s fire extinguisher’s worth of carbon tetrafluoride as part of your scribe’s daily fluid intake
Is that why tech bros keep trying to bring back phrenology?
Yes, that’s the point
They morged it https://nvie.com/posts/15-years-later/
Did AI make these slides?
It combigated them.
A veritable answer.
It’s a perfectly cromulent word
Product of continvoucly morged slop.
I’m about to combigate my foot with your ass!
(sorry, just felt right somehow)
Doesn’t siund like AI. Sounds more like they fired all the competent, expensive employees and replaced them with AI, than realized AI wasn’t doing so well and this was made by the few incompetent, cheap employees that were left.
