I get where he’s coming from as a tech person… I’m old enough to remember chatting to ELIZA and Alicebot. The current state of AI is impressive to me, as well as “worrying” and “destroying the planet” and “being rammed down our throats” and all the other bad stuff.
It’s wildly tone deaf of him to say it in the middle of a backlash, though. 😬
Yea, but he’s (intentionally?) misrepresenting things… people are not “unimpressed” by AI, what they are is not interested in MS “agentic OS”, these are not the same things.
It’s irresponsible to hand in control of your machine to an AI integrated that deeply into the OS, particularly when it’s designed to be tethered to the network and it’s privately owned and managed by human entrepreneurs that do have the company’s interests as first and main priority.
I guess you could say I’m impressed if we were discussing it like a beta preview of something that might be cool eventually. But what we’re doing is treating it like it’s amazing for all sorts of things it sucks at because it’s unreliable and shoving it in everything.
So yeah, I’m unimpressed with the reality vs the sales pitch.
