Microsoft doesn’t have it in their DNA to get people addicted to AI. That part of their DNA mutated into a cancer a long time ago.
Microsoft meant be “addictive” in the sense of using Microsoft’s AI to make a spreadsheet, type an email, make a PowerPoint etc… Microsoft wants AI to access all your information to so its results are custom to the user and provide huge value.
This is where value and profit are a contradiction. How much profit is Microsoft willing to potentially throw away in an effort to provide an incredible AI user experience? Spoiler alert: not enough.
When was the last time you were blown away by a corporation because you had such a great experience and couldn’t stop telling people about it? This is what Microsoft wants to happen with their AI but they haven’t been capable of doing that with any of their products for decades ei Windows 10, 11, Bing…
The last I thought “what a great product” from them was when I used winxp for the first time, and that was only because I came from 98se (which was just shy of the bane of humanity, whose title then belonged to win98). After a while using XP, I realized it was actually garbage, and that “good compared to” was not the measure I wanted for my os, and so began my search for a daily Linux. This was 20 years ago. They have decidedly not gotten better in those 20 years.

Man, surveillance loves snooping what AI is snooping.
