And 100% of their product names are generated by AI. No human would be stupid enough to change something's name for zero reason.

Well, unless you're a product manager at Google apparently... Though with them you're lucky if its just a change of name rather than it becoming an entirely "new" thing, or just getting outright axed...

Yeah that'd explain some stuff. Happy to have switched to Linux
Same. My games even run faster.
If they start with those products today with zero marketing budged and zero user base nobody would use it. Those CEOs are just clowns.
Even worse, whenever a good new technology does pop up they buy it and ruin it.
50% of my code is written by Intellisense...
Honestly, I'm not surprised.
Eww. Maybe it’s not really true and Microsoft just wants to remind us that big corporate AI is so legit that all the software you use all day was “helped” by it.
But really for me the issue is the company, not the AI. If I read an article about AI generated code making it into the Linux kernel or some gnu/kde/etc utilities, I don’t think I would worry much because those changes will be reviewed by cranky old nerds who care about the functionality of the software first. I have no such confidence in Microsoft’s processes.
Well that explains a lot
??? No it’s not! Can investors sue because this is such an obvious lie? Pls I have 0.3 Microsoft shares

They're attempting to make excuses for their inability to create functional software

Fun fact: Nadella has been replaced with an AI agent a couple of months ago and nobody has noticed yet. "Copilot, while I'm away, generate bs on AI adoption and fire a bunch of employees, ok?"
Yikes
Not suprised
If this were true there would massive databreaches. AI is really bad at keeping private keys private. Not to even mention the default credentials it would use because it doesnt have commen sense to change them

Year of the Linux desktop
(Amusing sidenote: my autocomplete's first suggestion after 'Linux' was 'propaganda'.)
