If I want to use AI I want it to be contained in 1 program that I choose to open and use.

This having it integrated into everything is getting ridiculous.

I don't use AI but I still want to be able to if I ever need to. I just don't want it all over the place and forced on me.

Its not a tool made fo general consumers. Its an enterprise tool that only AI tech bros actually care about, and should be on enterprise versions of the OS only. Otherwise, keep it confined to one place and let people use it if they want, or uninstall it if they don't. A lot like Cortana. The more MS forces users to do things, the more people will find workarounds to not have to.

The problem is the economy is fucked.

The "customer" to Microsoft isn't really the users of their software. Its the Shareholders.

And Shareholders are drunk on this AI idea

So if Microsoft wants "customers" they need to sell to shareholders that their AI offering is growing. More users! More usage! More! Look at our growth

But its all fucked. They drive out the consumer. But shareholders are still fucking giddy. How?!

Because the economy is fucked! Its circular logic. They're all in on AI because the AI bubble is booming. If you invest your money elsewhere you're leaving money on the table. Why make 5% growth when you can make 10%?! When will the bubble pop? Who knows, but until then there's riches! Risk assessement? NOT IN MY HOUSE! CHOOCHOO

Like I don't consider myself an investment expert. I'm young, but not that young, and when I talk to economic folk about how fucked the risk on investment in America is right now they literally just shrug and tell me "well its the biggest market still". It is increasingly feeling like there's no adults in the room anymore.
