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.

It is an approximation of intelligence. Literally a universal approximator trained on "intelligent" data. I can think of many applications where such a tool would be a brilliant fit but I swear tech companies are hell bent on cramming it into every single niche that it doesn't belong.

Even worse, it isn’t even a solid term. It’s a marketing term.

“Why is the new model so much more expensive?”

“It has AI now.”

“What does that mean? I see you changed the touchscreen on the washing machine to have a symbol for AI but you never explain what that does.”

“It senses things and intelligently adjusts for the load.”

“So it’s a sensor and a script of conditions to follow based on the reading. That’s not intelligence. That’s exactly what it did before. You just added a $300 upcharge, the requirement for an internet connection and a light for it.”

“Yes, because it has AI.”
