"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

For all the people on here quick to mock others for being gullible enough to fall for AI-generated slop, this is embarrassing.

It's not the users that are being gullible as much as "tech4gamers.com" that published the story and the news sites that copied them. They deserve the ire here.
This. If you are a "news" outlet it is your literal only job to make sure the information you report is factual.
Yeah I initially saw the OP's article shared on Mastodon by some generally reliable individuals and honestly my BS sensors went wild. The described roadmap by the sources from Windows Central makes a lot more sense for Microsoft given the current environment. Its the exact same thing they did around this time in Windows 10s lifecycle, squash some bugs and quietly reduce the stuff that users generally did not like and weren't being used (such as Cortana, remember that?)
Heh, this line cracked me up :
Also, thank you for your service.
That reference is just all opinion and rumour, nothing actually refutes the claims.
The original article refers to Win 12 as a concept not a change of name.
