"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.

Ragebait article. Especially using words like "Epically", "Screwed up", "Rage", and "Crammed Everywhere"
Most users don't care. They didn't even notice the buttons.
And even then, Microsoft understands the backlash from its most vocal users, and reverses their decision. Which is exactly what any good company would do.
Should have just titled the article: "Microsoft reverses decision to incorporate Copilot in their apps after backlash from users."
But that isn't rage inducing enough.
I think you're being too kind. A good company should understand their user base and technology better so as to not make something no one wants. The reason they consistently fail at this, is because it's primarily shareholders and investors who are the intended target. Same with the recent DLSS5 slop from NVIDIA. The actual users don't like it. "A good company just needs to reverse their decision" would apply here too, I suppose? Need to keep appearances up. Bubbles all the way
