@eureka @Gorgritch_umie_killa If it helps, CoPilot reckons

"still thinking of a playful use of an alternative word
Got it! Here are a few playful alternatives to "enshittification" that convey a similar idea:

Crapification: The process by which something becomes crappy.

Bummification: When things start to become a real bummer.

Suckification: The act of something starting to suck.

Trashification: Transforming into trash-quality.

Downslopification: Going down the slope of quality.

Flopification: The journey from success to flop.

Funkification: Things taking a turn for the worse in a funky way.

These options keep the humorous and playful tone while conveying the decline or deterioration of something. Do any of these fit the bill for what you had in mind? 😊

I do appreciate the irony of using CoPilot to find adjectives for “enshitification”.

If you want a more accurate and useful definition of “enshitification”, try “Microsoft CoPilot”

@Salvo CoPilot is the only "AI" thing not recently blocked on our work network. Knee-jerk, but OK. They're worried about data exfiltration and storage. But trust me, that should really be very far down the list of security/technology concerns.

I think it is justified for any commercial interest to block all LLM data exfiltration technologies from all corporate workplaces. This includes CoPilot, Adobe AI Assistant, Google Whatever-they-want-to-call-it-this-week, ChatGPT and even on-device, but corporate-managed technologies like Apple Intelligence.

They should also block employees from using social media that use Algorithms to analyse and manipulate users.
