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.
Stupidity is one of the more prominent signs of megalomania
Github copilot can do some impressive things, but it also ignores my instructions to not try to run anything and leave testing to me that I’ve stopped bothering saying it and just block the attempt when it asks permission. Just yesterday, it confidently said it had figured out an issue I was debugging with it and made a bunch of code changes that literally only affected comments. If I leave it in agent mode (which allows it to edit code) when asking a question to clarify something and not intending any code changes but wanting to think about the answer (and telling it that), sometimes it still runs ahead and tries to make changes anyways.
When it does well, it’s uncanny how effective it can be these days, but it’s not reliable enough to be trusted to be in control of the whole system. Plus I don’t trust Microsoft enough to put my data on onedrive, and believe that access to data is the real reason behind their AI push, no matter how much usefulness and reliability improves.
How to be a tech shithead:
- Be disproportionately rich
- Surround yourself with yes-men
- Disregard any valid criticism as “haters”
- Become completely out-of-touch
- Get your mind blown by most basic, obvious things.
Somehow, this guy is the CEO.
Yes, because your bank account depends on your incredulity.
Fuck all the way off.
Yeah, I don’t want to destroy the only environment where I can live to fuel AIs that only make rich people Richter. How silly of me.
Do you guys not have phones - energy
they even have an AI CEO
clowns
“We’ve released this feature which works 80% of the time and which we feel morally obligated to tell you can install malware, or simply send all your files to a malicious actor. Why aren’t you jizzing yourselves?”
Truly disconnected.
Its mindblowing to me that this asshole can’t smell the bullshit he is spewing.
I’m impressed by AI, but I don’t want AI, now go away, you’re just as annoying as that blabbermouth droid and that creepy paperclip.
LOL
Does the guy even use a computer?
It just isn’t impressive and not worth the trade of damage to the planet. Writing some emails or something fine. But vibe coding and it being sold as this living learning machine is just sci-fi isn’t true with current AI. Find some green way to power it or remove it from society at this point before it gets worse.
as amazing as snake was as a toy on phones, it still doesn’t make sense to put a copy of snake in outlook. Or notepad, or paint, or office, or as an always available widget in the task bar
^ This.
It’s a neat, under-construction tool.
A. Tool. An ‘agent’ to do niche things is neat.
…But I don’t need a chatbot on my fucking toaster.
