At least the current version gives you a choice and remembes it. Outlook a few years ago, after an update, required you to open links in their built in web view. Took them a few months to reverse course on that stupid decision.

GPT-4 powered

thanks for the warning!

now let me find something that works instead

[–] Meltdown@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

GPT-4 powered browser

No faster way to get me to avoid your product than by jamming AI where it's not needed

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 84 points 1 day ago (1 children)

gpt-4 powered browser

kill me

[–] NotProLemmy@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

killall cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 102 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why the fuck would I want a browser with AI?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This could be asked of a thousand million other products in the past three years.

But hey, here I am replying to this comment from my AI powered pants zipper, so...

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Oh neat how’s that? I’m using my buttplug. Really wish it had WiFi. The cat 6 cable can get limiting

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago

That's a safety tether.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

It has its ups and downs

[–] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 50 points 1 day ago (1 children)

GPT-4 powered browser? Like they needed to make Edge an even less attractive offering or what?

It's like how they're adding the useless copilot key to every single laptop that ever is released

"recommended by microsoft" kills me.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don’t know what fucking idiot they think is going to say to themselves “well fuck if Microsoft recommends it that’s the way we go!”

[–] ElectricWaterfall@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the average user sees recommended and just goes with it.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] ElectricWaterfall@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Tbh a lot of users might just click without even reading what this message says.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have you not been paying attention for the past 50 years?

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 1 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Not sure what you’re alluding to. I’ve been paying attention for the last 30 (how long I’ve been using computers). During my childhood I used Windows at home and macOS at school; eventually I moved on to Linux at home then a mix of Linux and macOS at home.

I haven’t used Windows since Windows XP so it’s really just a guess what you might be getting at. Am I to assume that OS vendors making poor suggestions in their UIs is normal?

[–] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 day ago

GPT-4 “powered” lol

[–] aim_at_me@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 day ago

I also recommend myself.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 57 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh boy, a ChatGPT powered browser! Maybe it can hallucinate what I bookmarked and lose or leak all my passwords ☺️

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

Autofilling all URLs to something completely different could be a fun way to browse

[–] the16bitgamer@programming.dev 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I work in IT at a company who uses outlook, but has locked down the phones so the users can’t install anything.

I can say without a reason of the doubt that outlook on Android is hateful.

It’s still a 2010 era android app with non of the desktop features working. Like the signature not syncing with your saved ones. And focused inbox hiding important emails.

But since the phones are locked down. These dark patten ads are twice as annoying since the user thinks there phone is broken. They just removed the Microsoft 2fa prompts on setup. But I saw this and almost cried.

Don’t assume that users are smart enough to read or understand how this works. They press buttons until it works. If we didn’t force google play to not allow edge to download our users would’ve been in a much harder situation to support.

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

I really wish users would learn the slightest bit how to use their shit

[–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can't wait for GPT in my email client, so that it falls for phishing schemes when I'm relaxing.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can tell you aren't using outlook

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah the place I work implemented the "enterprise version" of outlook with their garbage AI built in.

I've never used the AI once, and if they don't give a shit about company data that's fine by me

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

I'd take that in a heartbeat. I want my meetings and emails summarised, minutes written for me.
That's the kind of daily crap I don't want to have to do myself.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 12 points 1 day ago

they are desperate for someone to use their spyware filled Browser with AI shoved down your throat

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 10 points 1 day ago

I'm surprised it gives you the choice instead of the usual Microsoft nag: Set Default or Later.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 day ago

God ChatGPT sucks so much.

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago (4 children)

This is a shitshow. I use open source mobile office suite and Outlook continually refuses to open PDF or other documents as nothing is installed, so would I like to use their bag of shit instead.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

Just had a look. Much appreciated, thanks mate.

Fuck outlook, the app is trash.

Nine works great for exchange servers, if you can't escape the Microsoft infrastructure altogether.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looks like the new reviews say otherwise

[–] viking@infosec.pub 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've been using it for 12+ years, and still do to this day. The only thing that changed is that you have to use the Microsoft authenticator app to log on.

It's not even bad they're just annoying. Currently the only one I'd use is firefox. It has all the features without the bad things so far. Opera has many ads and also ai and a crypto wallet so i'm going with firefox...

[–] ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

surely you get this only if you have edge already installed?

if you just stop edging on your device, wouldn't this pop-up never appear?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Confirming, you get this even if you don't have Edge installed. It will take you to the store page.

No, I don't have edge and don't want it.

[–] nogooduser@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Lots of apps override the default behaviour when opening links and ask you to use a specific browser. I actually do use Edge and have been asked if I wanted to use Chrome.

[–] kepix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

outlook lol

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

"Get Microsoft Edge to open" ? Why not just "Open Microsoft Edge"?

[–] nogooduser@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

They don’t have Edge installed so they are being requested to get it so that they can open the link.

Because Microsoft Edge is a app that doesn't come pre-installed on Android devices
