Monday, 1000UTC: User opens ticket saying "last week I did a lot of work with Copilot, but now I can't find the files we created together or the app we used to do it".
Monday, 1200UTC: IT person responds to ticket with a response which (in their words) "MAY BE COMPLETELY WRONG" as they asked Copilot where to find the files. Maybe in OneDrive? Maybe in Sharepoint?
Monday, 1400UTC: Graeme reads ticket, cries inside, coins term #AsinineInstructions instead of #ArtificialIntelligence

...also, dear reader, entirely predictably the files were not in OneDrive or SharePoint. The app itself that they used can no longer be found. The data is lost to the sands of time, and the work done by that member of staff is entirely wasted. On top of that, we have absolutely no idea what the person was using (apart from Copilot) and no way to find out. I hate this. We're all being pulled down to the lowest possible level by this apparently epoch-level creation. #AsinineInstructions
