Why don't they get the current AI that they already have to work out how to optimize itself so that they don't need to consume all of the oceans on the planet in order to run it?

Also maybe don't give me a summary of every email I receive unless I explicitly ask for it, thst should save them couple of hundred billion tokens.

You haven't disabled that shit? No ways am I letting that privacy nightmare read my emails, it's bad enough that they're hosted by Google.

It's just part of outlook that's on by default. I don't think anybody cares because nobody's personal emails are accessed via outlook, is 100% business users. The AI can read those emails as much as it wants for all I care

Ah, okay, I thought it was a Gemini/Google thing. There is at least some expectation of privacy from Ms in regards to it's AI on business accounts, but also no expectation of privacy from your own company.
