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.

Some people do want to talk to their computer and would love it if it worked right.

The problem is that it often doesn't work right,cans they're setting it up as though everyone has that as their top priority for their desktop.

Instead of baking it in to the os, expose the bits needed so it can be an installable program. Now people can have it or not, and you open the door for different non-ai tools to also work on the computer.
It's almost like a proper, consistent API would be better than a bot you try to convince to use a dozen bad ones.

Windows to let side loading third party AI onto their baby, with priority access to a bunch of APIs that might actually make them compete on their own OS? I wish.

I might actually be willing to try something very light, if I could control exactly which APIs and methods it could access, plus I could load my own model into it. Why not? “Hey computer, play some lo-fi, open up my email client, and read me today’s unread mail from my inbox.”

But trust is the factor for me here. For example, I don’t want it allowed anywhere near my projects. I don’t want it allowed to screen capture. I don’t want it allowed to do any write operations to my filesystem. I don’t want it allowed to perform Internet activity except within a browser… the list goes on.

Entirely agree. Personally most of what I would want done would be better handled by a macro system that was easy to setup. Most of what I want is pretty usually the same so "remember this setup" is basically good enough.
