When I ask Copilot something, the response usually starts with “Great question!”, followed by emojis and encouraging words that gently pet my fragile ego. Pretty much anything seems to pass for a “good question”, so if my questions are able to surpass that exceedingly low standard, I no longer feel very confident about their quality.
Am I the only one feeling this way? Anyone else noticing how excessive encouragement can have the opposite effect?
Those participation trophies remind me of soviet era medals, awards and decorations people got for all sorts of interesting reasons. If you hand out millions of medals like that, you gain a new understanding of what inflation really means. Same applies to trophies and even complements.
Absolutely. And also, compare, sometime, the medals the USA gives to its service members compared to the medals that Canadian service members get. I mean the USA isn’t Soviet bad but it’s also pretty pandering.
The fun thing about the soviet medals is that nowadays they are collectables. The same stores that sell old coins and stamps, usually also have some soviet era medals to choose from. Best of all, that hobby isn’t necessarily very expensive either. Some of those medals were manufactured in such crazy numbers, that they might as well be coins. Judging by the prices, these medals don’t appear to be very popular for some reason.
