Google AI assures me* that "microslop coprolite" is a recent viral internet joke, and with your help, we can retcon that into reality

* with hallucitations that in no way support the claim

Screenshot of google AI overview for the search term "microslop coprolite" "Microslop" is a recent pejorative internet term for Microsoft's AI features, specifically Copilot, which critics view as low-quality bloatware, while a coprolite is a fossilized piece of animal or human feces. The terms are unrelated in origin, but have recently been merged in a viral internet joke. "Microslop" is a portmanteau of "Microsoft" and the term "slop" (used to describe low-quality, mass-produced AI content). The term gained traction after Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella suggested that society should "move on" from the conversation about "slop" in a blog post. Critics use the term to mock Microsoft's aggressive integration of their AI assistant, Microsoft Copilot, into all aspects of the Windows operating system, including simple tools like Notepad and File Explorer. This push has been criticized as "force-fed" and creating "feature bloat" that requires new, expensive hardware. A coprolite is a trace fossil of feces that has been preserved through a process called mineral replacement, which removes the original organic materials and any odor. They provide valuable insights into the diets, health, and environments of long-dead organisms, from dinosaurs to ancient humans. One of the most famous examples is the Lloyds Bank Coprolite, the largest known fossilized human feces specimen, discovered in York, England, and attributed to a Viking from the 9th century AD…

me: you can bet that within a month of someone at microsoft seeing this, it'll appear in all three of their CLIs.
@chantelier : If there isn’t a PR already I’ll eat my hat or any other millinery at hand. Actually that’s probably why it isn’t in release yet, they got #Coprolite to write it

the absolute genius of this man.

Scatological humor is always a sure-fire way to get a child audience’s attention, which means #coprolites are always amusing fossils to bring up in paleo outreach. To that end, may I recommend “The Clues are in the Poo”, coauthored by Jane Kurtz and #coprolite queen Karen Chin!
It’s a light, entertaining book that not only educates about these amusing fossils, but also acts as an autobiographical account of Karen’s career as well.

The Cropwell Bishop plesiosaur on display at the #NottNatHist Museum @GeorgeTheGorilla

It's from the earliest Jurassic of Cropwell Bishop in Nottinghamshire. I'm working on it with colleagues, it's probably a new species.

I put a fossil fish by its head and some coprolites by its bum to tell a simple story: food goes in, poo goes out!

Fossilized feces found to be infested with #parasites from more than 200 million years ago phys.org/news/2023-08-fossiliz

First discovery of #parasite eggs in a vertebrate #coprolite of the Late #Triassic in Thailand journals.plos.org/plosone/arti

"The coprolite is cylindrical in shape and more than 7cm long. Based on its shape and contents, the researchers suggest it was likely produced by some species of #phytosaur, #crocodile-like #predators which are also known from this #fossil locality."

I sawed this septarian concretion in half, to reveal a lovely pale brown in the centre. But weirdly, the two sawn halves seem to have faces, looking at each other, with different expressions. Some kind of dialogue maybe? From the Orchard Beds in One for @palaeokatie !

@Baggypants no, but another recommendation: #shitpost be changed to #coprolite
