Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" (www.windowscentral.com)

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 was taking my kids to the dentist yesterday and was listening to the radio with them.

It's anecdotal and a small sample size but the only people talking about AI are journalists and money men.

I work in IT and the consensus is it is a valuable tool but it really isn't taking anyone's job.

For my kids and those their age and younger (15) the consensus is AI can fuck off and it's responsible for polluting their social media with crap.

Tl;Dr - the only people pushing AI are the money men and the policy makers. No one wants this.

I’m a young millenial and I definitely know people using ChatGPT. They shouldn’t be, but they are.

Of course! I'm GenX and I use it at work and home as well for a variety of purposes but do I **need ** it? Does anyone **need ** it?

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I just don’t touch it. I don’t even get the desire to use it.

Biggest innovation since 3D TV.

Excuse me, but are we forgetting about the miracle of e-ink?☝️😌

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 23 hours ago

e-ink is a wonderful thing. But, it's really only useful for e-readers and maybe price displays in stores. It has a frame rate in seconds-per-frame rather than frames-per-second. That's fine if what you're looking at is pretty static, but for general purpose displays it's pretty useless. But man, it is just great for e-readers.

I'd more like put color e-ink into that category - as gimicky and half-baked technology building on a more established one (e-ink is doing quite well with readers, low-power displays, etc.)
