Confirmed, Gemini (technically Nano Banana) is so much better than whatever is being used with copilot.

Sometimes when lifting dumbbells, I get this concerning sensation in my right arm, where it feels like my ulna is pulling away from my elbow.  

Spoiler for Hidden:

It doesn't hurt or anything. It just feels weird. In practice it feels like the one bone is taking an extra moment to move with the rest of the arm.

Quote from: kitler53 on Mar 03, 2026, 03:42 PMjust because it's a thing i did last year i'm trying to get the image creator to make me an image for the block party i organize each year. 

i can't get the stupid AI to understand that I want an image that fits a standard 8.5x11 in piece of paper the tall way.  it keeps making images that are wider than they are tall and i want an image that is taller than it is wide. 

I literally just told gemini "help this dude out" and included your post.

Tried it on Copilot.

I was able to get a tall image pretty easily, but it's not the right ratio. It's a 1.5 ratio height to width, instead of ~1.3 that an 11x8.5 would come out to.


There are some good image models out there. It's weird to me, because text wise Copilot runs circles around anything that I can run on my PC. But the image generator is just so lacking in terms of quality and speed.

oh boy,.. i just made a big splash in this meeting.

the guy showed a use case of asking AI to summarize his calendar for tommorow.   after watching the prompt chug the data from over a minute i asked the question "wouldn't it be faster to just look at your outlook calendar?".   the guy leading the training was like, "yeah, you're probably right".   i have over 200 laugh emoji reactions.   

i should probably just stfu in company wide meetings.

this training is kind of hilarious:

"yeah, i'm not saying AI is a great tool for everything.   maybe try being a jerk to the AI?   i find sometimes being mean to the AI helps it understand your frustration with not getting your desired results".
