Microsoft hat ein Problem: Niemand möchte seine minderwertigen KI-Produkte kaufen oder nutzen – da das KI-Wachstum von Google beginnt, die Copilot-Produkte zu übertreffen

That’s unfortunate. Considering how many are taking to Windows 11, I’m not the least bit surprised.
Google has the ability to shove it into their existing products without alienating everyone all at once. Microsoft does not have that luxury.
Edit: this is not to say Google AI is great or very useful, just that it naturally integrates easier with less area for consumer pushback
I am only allowed to use Copilot for work. It is WORSE than useless. Hallucinates constantly and will double down on the lie indefinitely
I have my own paid version of ChatGPT right now. It has made significant ongoing improvements and now feels leaps and bounds ahead of Copilot.
This shocked me because due to Microsoft’s close relationship with Open AI I figured that would be essentially the same product with different faces. Absolutely not the case.
The effort that Microsoft exerts to piss people off with their flagship operating system is really impressive. I have been there since Windows 98, and I am about all but done with this bloated nonsense.
Not even going into how Windows is now data-collection malware and not really an OS.
Literally no one wants ai from any company in any form. It’s just a matter of who can shove it down our throat quicker.
eyeglass without lenses, is like Microshaft without shitty AI products, dont make sense
At least they have X-Box to keep them afloat.
First Agentic AI update to my Windows machine & I switch to Linux same day.
Only old people care about AI. From my experience.
We have millions of dollars invested into Claude and Copilot and none of my coworkers use them lol.
Because it’s a classic microsoft non-windows/office product: MS put in a half assed effort expecting a full-ass payday. The company isn’t able to survive in markets it doesn’t already dominate.
I tried Gemini the other day and it seemed super slow. Wasn’t on a paid tier. Wondering what others feel. I use Claude/chatgpt typically
Linux is the way.
Even if it was good, which it isn’t, the way they force it on you doesn’t feel right. And not just Microsoft, almost every company is shoving AI into every product they can even if people don’t want it. More and more I feel I have no control of devices I own and by extension what is going on in my own house.
I just set up a windows 11 laptop out of the box and between the forced microsoft account and bloatware, i wanted to format it immediatly and install Linux.
From Copilot-Spyware
To Bitlocker-Ransomware
… And Gemini installed itself on my windows 11 PC and I had the uninstall chrome to get it off
Yeah the AI trend sucks hard, just jamming AI up everythings ass that doesn’t even need it. Silicon Valley sucks.
It’s reticent to modern cars Vs the touch screen+software. I much prefer tactile feedback, dials and whatnot. But good luck getting that, most of todays car dashboards are a giant touch screen tablet, soon to be bricked in the near future.
As a company they got too cocky. Where are the companies that treat us like customers? Where have all the customer service agents gone. Put me on with a human
I’m glad they’re catching bad PR. The copilot rollout is entirely a hostile user experience
“Hi Copilot. Please turn this bulleted list into a clean and simple visual of individual boxes”
“Oh you can’t do that? You literally said you can’t? Let me click ‘convert to smart art’ and oh would you look at that…it worked”
How does this thing not even know how to do things that are already in the product via a button press?
And their OS is becoming sh@@@ter than ever. You open Excel, your computer explodes.
AI is already spitting out wrong answers. What is going to happen when the different flavors of AI start giving contradictory answers because they’ve been trained on different data sets? Maybe I should write a non-AI version that will spit out the true answers and people can use that to check their AI against. I’ll call it Moogle.
Microsoft problem is that they take the latest trend and put it into goddamn absolutely everything. I have no problem having a browser tab open and asking ChatGPT a question and getting my answer. I do not need copilot integrated into Microsoft office, Windows 11, xbox, Xbox game bar, outlook online, onedrive, and my coffee maker.
And in true Microsoft fashion, they don’t give you the choice. They force it upon you.
Not limited to just its AI products…
As a software engineer who cut his teeth in the late 90s and early 2000s, I remember who Microsoft really is and why the open source movement was so awesome.
I was happy to be able to switch to Linux at work as well as at home. Eventually I had to work with a mac, and did that at home.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about switching back to Linux- whatever flavor, because anything is better than Microsoft regardless of its use.
Apple is being smart by not overextending itself in this area and ruining their hyper popular products.
We live in a boring cyberpunk dystopia
No one wants to use ANY AI products because they are ALL shoddy.
This is clearly yet another Google vs. Microsoft clickbait piece of garbage.
For Microsoft to launch 12+ different AI products by randomly combining the words “Copilot,” “365,” and “Microsoft” requires a level of brand-equity bravado I can barely comprehend.
This naming strategy is either:
A) A disruptive, out-of-the-box strategy only achievable because an AI Agent came up with it.
B) A misreading of the customer refrain “No” as “Not Yet.”
As a former Sr. Director, I fear it is option B.
That is the only coherent explanation why they just slashed sales targets for AI Agents by 50%. The „Agentic AI trade“ is stalling.
