how would you simulate microsoft with ai?
I guess you make something that writes batch files. Then maybe move up to a flight simulator. Eventually move onto an operating system, that every time you release an upgrade, people will complain about it and tell you it's worse than it was before (half the time it's ignorant users, half the time it's developers being made to throw shitty things into it. Insert a shit search engine that's mandatory and has a bad track record with security issues. (Grok should do fine). I don't really know if I can find words for MSN... Create a perfectly adequate word processor, overly complicate it for years so it isn't even compatible with its self and wonder why you cant save text with spaces and open it on another machine. Take everyone's emails and store a copy on their machine, while leaving it on the web, and try to convince everyone to get a subscription to type characters in a word processor when the one they bought in 1995 should still work for all the purposes they need it for and send emails which they could have done for free via the web. Add rules and add-ons that will work sometimes and break othertimes because maybe it took to long to launch. Tell everyone to store their emails in pst files. Tell everyone to get away from pst files. Tell everyone to go back to pst files. No longer support pst files because they don't work with cloud storage as they are inherently locally stored data files. Excel.. yeah, why is there macros, if you need macros you should probably be using Access but most people don't know how to use it so all the databases are started in Excel and no one wants to change so you just ask cortona, copilot, nope just go to OpenAI and hallucinate solutions.
Then say forget it all and go back to a pen and paper.
