Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" (www.windowscentral.com)

Microsoft's AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, has shared his opinion after recent pushback from users online that are becoming frustrated with Copilot and AI on Windows. In a post on X, Suleyman says he's mind blown by the fact that people are unimpressed with the ability to talk fluently with an AI computer.

His post comes after Windows president Pavan Davuluri was recently met with major backlash from users online for posting about Windows evolving into an agentic OS. His post was so negatively received that he was forced to turn off replies, though Davuluri did later respond to reassure customers that the company was aware of the feedback.

There are things that AI does well and certain features should be available in an operating system. For example the AI features on my Samsung phone I actually really like them I use them all the time.

Especially the highlighting feature for copy and paste absolutely fantastic for my work.

But what Microsoft is doing is just all intrusive AI it's completely unnecessary and nobody wants it.

How does highlighting have to do with AI?

Reading text from images uses neural networks these days for OCR (optical character recognition). It works so well these days that you don’t even notice your phone doing it.
