Microsoft’s AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, has shared his opinion after recent pushback from users online that are becoming frustrated with Copilot and AI on Windows. In a post on X, Suleyman says he’s mind blown by the fact that people are unimpressed with the ability to talk fluently with an AI computer.
His post comes after Windows president Pavan Davuluri was recently met with major backlash from users online for posting about Windows evolving into an agentic OS. His post was so negatively received that he was forced to turn off replies, though Davuluri did later respond to reassure customers that the company was aware of the feedback.
I don’t want anything to do with AI. I disabled it everywhere. Yet, you keep shoving it down my throat. The more you do that, the less I want to interact with it. Toss more AI on me, and I’ll look to disable it.
It feels like Microsoft doesn’t remember how Cortana was received. Why don’t you fix Windows’ file search instead?
This what happens when fucking weirdos who have never talked to other people are in charge of tech. they come up with something that can’t talk like a person and is always wrong and they are super impressed with it because it’s the closest they come to socializing.
The fact that it’s mind-blowing to him is unimpressive to me so. Potato tomato.
Because it’s just an inference machine. That’s impressive on its own but you fuckers keep pretending it is intelligent. It’s not. It’s a toddler with an enormous vocabulary and shareholders.
LLMs are cool up to a point. It is pretty neat to see something imitate human speech so convincingly. But that’s it: neat. Like a phone shaped like a hamburger.
For me to be impressed beyond that, your thing needs to either do something that I can’t do better or do something i don’t want to do. I can write a pretty good grade 8 essay. I can summarize a paragraph. I can write a dirty limerick. I can complete my own sentence without
punctuationsuggestions.When I want to create something, I want to do it myself. Putting my ideas in order and finding the words to say something meaningful is the fun part. Even when I write a work email or a cover letter, I’m not really interested in help. Either I have something to say (don’t want help), or I rattle it off in one go (don’t need help).
Microsoft, I don’t owe you my attention or my money. Make something useful that doesn’t suck. Impress me.
How to be a tech shithead:
- Be disproportionately rich
- Surround yourself with yes-men
- Disregard any valid criticism as “haters”
- Become completely out-of-touch
- Get your mind blown by most basic, obvious things.
Somehow, this guy is the CEO.
I don’t need to talk to a computer (nor do I want to). I’m fine using a keyboard. All I need is a machine that performs my tasks fluently and flawlessly.
I think, the main misperception here is that ordinary people do not have half of the enthusiasm about AI, that the tech industry leader have, while those try to throw AI into everything they have to make it (and the corresponding investments) somehow meaningful and profitable.
AI is becoming impressive. But that doesn’t mean I agreed to let companies steal my data and art to train it.
For some reason it is not mindblowing to me that the Microsoft AI CEO is astronomically out of touch with normal people.
I think it is probably the behavior of Microsoft as a company that makes me feel that way.
Never seen someone with a mind so easily blown.
At the idea of customer choice and feedback, no less; like those things are somehow BAD.
Either it’s bullshit (most likely) or it’s because he surrounded himself with AI-cock sucking yes men. Probably a bit of both.
someone with a mind
That’s a pretty bold assumption to make
Do you guys not have phones - energy
Wait, Microsoft’s “AI CEO” is a human? If AI is supposed to be replacing jobs, why not start there?
They’re completely out of touch with how normal people use their computers. The only people who want AI in their OS are the AI tech bros.
