The decline of independent thoughts for one. As people become reliant on LLMs to do their thinking for them and solve all problems that they stumble upon, they become a shell of their previous self.
> æ (U+00E6) is not a ligature; it's a mostly obsolete character, with different semantics (or phonetics) than ae.
Reading that a letter in my alphabet is mostly obsolete feels really weird. No rebuttal, just a comment.
> It would never substitute æ for ae; that would misspell the word as much as substituting an o.
While that is correct, a lot of other systems actually do this exact substition. If your name contains æ it will be substituted with ae in passports, plane tickets and random other systems throughout your life.
My own username on this website is an example of a similar substition. The oe should be read as the single character ø.
> Really Microsoft should be auditing the search that copilot executes, its actually a bit misleading to be auditing the file as accessed when copilot has only read the indexed content of the file, I don't say I've visited a website when I've found a result of it in Google
Not my domain of expertise, but couldn't you at some point argue that the indexed content itself is an auditable file?
It's not literally a file necessarily, but if they contain enough information that they can be considered sensitive, then where is the significant difference?
