      People not being impressed is not the problem. It *is* impressive some of the things AI can do. Consumers do not want it running their entire digital life. *That’s* the issue he refuses to acknowledge and engage with. Enormous „No, its the children who are wrong“ energy.

    2. “We told people that AI was going to put them out of a job and those ungrateful little shits are asking questions” is more accurate.

      When was the last time Microsoft impressed on anything? The only thing impressive is how consistent they are at fucking with their customers.

      LLMs now are what things like Siri and Cortana were advertised as 15 years ago. And it’s worse than what those features currently provide in a lot of cases because it gets things wrong way too often. Even a 90% success rate is significantly too low.

      LLMs are basically bubbling down to advanced search engines that try to do more, but just kinda guess at how to do it. Using one is like watching that video of the dad that intentionally takes the instructions his kids give him for making a PB&J way too literally.

      Microsoft leadership is in an AI bubble which their customers are not.

      Recent consumer backlash about MS plans to deepen AI integration in Windows is a wakeup call.

    6. We didn’t ask for it, and we don’t care for the implications of it’s creation.

    7. Can’t imagine why people struggling with healthcare bills, rent, grocery prices, loneliness, and burnout aren’t hyped about corporate AI tools. Real mystery there.

      *Wants an operating system, you know like run programs

      *Get OS and ads and suggestions and bloat and „we require online“ and „would
      you like…“

      *Can I just write a document in peace?

      *No

      Why customers mad?

      „Why don’t people like the smell of my farts? I love the smell of my own farts!“

    10. *We don’t understand why you don’t want us to automate what we think you need to do*

    11. uniquelyavailable on

      As a consumer, I don’t run my own tech company, so I don’t need to make apps and dazzle investors with automated features. Why would I need that? The problems in my everyday life revolve around basic survival needs, something that they will never have to worry about because their bonus is more than I will make in my entire life.

    12. AI can be great as a thing I can use if I choose to.

      Bake it fundamentally into Windows, I switch to Linux.

    13. Copilot does nothing to help make my job easier. It can’t follow prompts, recall past conversations as they relate to present ones, or give accurate information on basic questions. It just searches the internet for paid sources and offers them up. It doesn’t send emails, it doesn’t balance your accounts, it doesn’t do anything except consume massive amount of resources to train off its massive amount of data collection that we have been fooled as the product into paying to give our time and information. Get fucked Microsoft. This product is destroying the jobs of people that do a lot of important tasks, and the product isn’t even replacing the jobs. It just writes some slop email and tells me to do more work. The outputs have no fact check or human to verify so it makes me do quality control. Microsoft copilot is like a sophomore confidently masquerading as some repository of knowledge and efficiency and it’s neither. It’s a garbage tool propped up by elite techno feudalists.

      Worth reading his bio on Wikipedia.

      He’s an AI entrepreneur with a strong marketing background and a great history of fundraising.

      Absolutely no evidence of any technical skills, so y’know – when he says he’s selling a „super-smart AI“, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

    15. just_one_more_turn on

      And I am puzzled that my wife is unimpressed by my Magic the Gathering card collection… the only explanation is that the world is just an unsolvable mystery I guess?

    16. Also copilot is shit, it has literally fumbled every request I’ve ever made of it. It’s braindead.

    17. It’s another tool, and like all tools it requires understanding how to use them to get the most out of it.

      The problem is that billionaires don’t value humanity. They don’t value knowledge or wisdom.

      So they pour billions of dollars into new devices and technology, but never try to grasp how to get people to use them or What needs they serve.

      It’s all just the money making scheme for them. Don’t tell me you value people. Show me.

    18. What kind of hot air is being blown up their ass that they thought people would be impressed? It’s disturbing to see that no one wants to admit this isn’t going to work out. Too committed to admit imminent failure.

    19. MidsouthMystic on

      They keep telling us AI can do all of these things, some good, some very bad. But then when we try to do both, it doesn’t work the way they say it does. I’ve used AI tools and various generators. It’s all unimpressive. None of it is the life changing thing they claim it is. AI was marketed as both a miracle cure to our problems and the end of humanity. It is underwhelming as both.

    20. Grungy_Mountain_Man on

      What the average people see of AI is crappy generic music, obviously fake pics, memes, etc. 

      What is there to be impressed about?

    21. That-Succotash-9645 on

      I mean, what am I supposed to be impressed about? Oh, it can give me better search results? it can pretend to be my boyfriend? It can produce funny meme art?

      *Whoopdee-f***in’-doo.*

      AI won’t change my commute. It won’t change how I do my job. It won’t save me tax dollars or make grocery shopping more affordable. It *will* badger me with annoying, self-congratulatory, masturbatory advertising about how supposedly groundbreaking it is while I’m just trying to watch a football game. It *will* drive up my power bills. It *will* have a devastating effect on the environment.

      I’m pretty darn tech savvy, and you can color me thoroughly unimpressed. It seems like this is just another effort that tech bros are really desperate to make happen for purely greed’s sake. Like another bitcoin scam.

    22. ElysiumSprouts on

      It’s sold as if it will be a great time saver, but it’s not. Especially the AI summaries when trying to web search. I’m pretty much always looking for something specific and the generic cliff notes version just gets in the way and is often just wrong.

    23. Maybe they are more concerned with the fall of democracy in the western hemisphere. And as others mentioned…losing jobs. And of course the terminator scenario. Sometimes progress for the sake of progress isn’t always the best answer.

    24. BeyondNetorare on

      It is actually amazing that Microsoft found a way to make linkedin even shittier

    25. ArtieFufkinPolymrRec on

      There’s a reason they think AI are so great, because they’re really good at spouting bullshit, which seems to be the primary role of a tech CEO these days.

    26. Eljefeandhisbass on

      Could this guy just lock himself away in his house and never come out again? That’d be great.

    27. NightchadeBackAgain on

      WE DO NOT WANT AI IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES.

      Is that clear enough, or would you like to scream this at you in person? MS can fuck all the way off.

    28. DamNamesTaken11 on

      You mean the guy whose job it is to sell you (but more importantly investors) how amazing Microsoft AI is shocked that you think this when Microsoft AI is worse than Clippy rusted and covered in tetanus? /s

      Regardless, I don’t want their “shove ‘AI’ into every nook and cranky of the operating system.” Copilot has been a hindrance more than an asset, and the stupidity of Recall is a privacy and security nightmare. Then it’s laughably obvious by the circlejerk of funding between all the players in this that it’s a bubble swelling more and more massive by the day with the question of whose going to be burned the most when it bursts instead of who comes out ahead.

      I’ll be impressed when Microsoft offers to help fund Universal Basic Income to make up for all the people their beloved AI is already fucking over.

    30. theperipherypeople on

      I’d actually like to see them make a separate OS for their AI bullshit instead of infecting mainline Windows with it. Let people choose like we used to be able to. 

    31. housewithapool2 on

      Boolean searches worked. It was impressive. Google refined it until it was phenomenal. Then Google monetized, it got worse. Now Google gives me ai, it’s not as good as Google 5 years ago. Its objectively terrible compared to Google 10 15 years ago.

      They will just keep buying the competition though.
