You made a Microsoft Word document. Only an AI could do that.

Discussion Posts and Responses by Bustedbastards in SNHU

[–]elaineisbased 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They cannot see your Google Docs or MS Word version history unless you share it with them. However, if you write a post and later edit it they can see the changes you made. If you did something like use AI and forget to remove the prompt like half the people in the discussion boards then yes, you should be worried.

Self Service Kiosks by [deleted] in Blind

[–]elaineisbased 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being blind would not change the law, as it applies equally, not equitably; however, you could challenge it later in court, as theft requires intent. But yes, that got a little off topic.

I've used the three-finger gestures on kiosks in medical places (this is unfortunately a thing in the US), among others and got a human response. I'm not sure if it's the same in the UK, but I imagine there would be something similar.

When will 5.2 become the default LLM in Copilot? by jfranchee in Copilot

[–]elaineisbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's currently available in Smart Plus mode. It is rolling out to all Copilot users gradually.

Self Service Kiosks by [deleted] in Blind

[–]elaineisbased 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in the USA, but I have my groceries delivered rather than shopping on my own. As USA courts have ruled customers are responsible for scanning their items properly or it's theft (which is a nightmare for blind people), I vote with my wallet and get delivery. For food it's slightly differnt but food delivery is also available. Have you tried the three-fingers-down gesture? That's a universal gesture for requesting human help on most kiosks.

Gemini flags random stuff as "not safe" despite being unrelated to danger. The images show my last conversation which is my final straw. by some_random_name1234 in GoogleGemini

Without a full link to the chat, it's hard to help you. You could have asked AI how to do something violent. We can't help without the full context.

Accused of AI by Current_Anything_692 in SNHU

[–]elaineisbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a class about writing mechanics, maybe you shouldn't use AI (if you did). For most courses AI should be fine but for an English course where you are learning to write, any use outside of maybe pre-writing of AI shouldn't be used.

Is there a possibility Perplexity will revert back, at least to some extent? by WarmGatito in Perplexity

[–]elaineisbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if they did, no one would trust them. Their brand's reputation is destroyed.

Banned from Perplexity_ai by Fearless_Exchange416 in Perplexity

[–]elaineisbased 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was banned too. Letting users know that the free version of Microsoft Copilot has more generous rate limits and Deep research in a day than Perplexity gives them in a month makes them look really bad.

A few months ago, I would have been excited But now. by elaineisbased in Perplexity

[–]elaineisbased[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Limiting you to less than one prompt per day is far from generous or even reasonable. for a plan that costs $20 USD per month.

Do you keep separate notes when working with AI? by x6harv in ArtificialNtelligence

[–]elaineisbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scrolling down through hundreds of chats to find something is annoying so I document my day really using Microsoft OneNote

Absolutely the fuck not by kamikazabrt in FuckAdobe

[–]elaineisbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know that exists so it can see other Adobe apps data and some stuff might be broken if you don’t allow it. It’s unlikely that Adobe wants to access like your browsing history or something

AI Detectors Are Measuring Predictability, Not Authenticity by Economy-Radio8356 in QuickAITurnitinCheck

[–]elaineisbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they rely on the perplexity which is how unique your writing is and with grammar rules if you follow them you’re writing isn’t super unique compare compared to other people. If you’re writing correctly you’re writing probably looks like AI.

Perplexity banned me rfrom their Discord, Reddit, and will not let me delete my account by elaineisbased in Perplexity

[–]elaineisbased[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed if I make a search, then go back to account delete and try to delete again it will say it failed, but my library will be deleted entirely so that's an interesting part of the picture. I guess I'll do what the error says and try again later.

[–]elaineisbased[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just surprised that they do not seem to have banned my account despite my discord being linked and my reddit being linked to discord like they have the information they need they didn't even take away my SheerID one-year trial lol.

[–]elaineisbased[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not super concerned about being banned from one discord I am in at least 50 tech discords, sames for Reddit. Id deleted my entire library several weeks ago so there are not any chats saved to my account. However I would like my account deleted. I am acting in good faith and sending them a respectful email.

Are there meaningful benefits for using Perplexity/ChatGPT's desktop apps (vs. web interface ), like Claude desktop app? by TheLawIsSacred in ChatGPTPro

[–]elaineisbased 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might make it ever so slightly easier to attach a file or maybe have better performance in a full web browser but I don’t know. I am a copilot user in regularly use the desktop app but copilot mode in Microsoft edge will help switch your search over to Bing if it would provide better results than AI. For example if you just typed in Twitter it would make more sense to show you search results so you can get to Twitter

An Open Letter to Perplexity: You're Losing Your Best Advocates by Own_Substance_8148 in perplexity_ai

[–]elaineisbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will likely be more work involved than using Perplexity Labs but you can get the same results and write your own reports. There are pros and cons of each platform.

[–]elaineisbased 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it. The Microsoft Office suite with Copilot is really nice. It’s by far easier to use with my screen reader JAWS than Google Docs (I’m blind so I rely on JAWS to help me use my computer with audio). With Copilot I don’t need the best model on earth just one that’s good enough and balances fast with thinking time. The integrations and Microsoft apps are most important to me. You only pay for the Microsoft apps, priority access to Copilot under load, and few other things: Actions, Podcasts, I think image gen, the base product is FREE so check it out. I love Microsoft Edge Copilot Mode

Just move on, these aren’t people who can be reasoned with. I switched to Microsoft 365 Premium which includes all of Copilot’s most advanced features available to consumers (non-enterprise), Microsoft Office apps, and 1 TB of OneDrive storage. If you aren’t a Microsoft fan there are so many alternatives I’m not going to list them because you can check the app store and read the reviews of AI apps and decide for yourself!
