MS has, unfortunately, put vast quantities of time and effort into AI, to the detriment of their core offerings. Many of those offerings were already on a long-term downward slope and could have really used extra investment to bring them back to par.

Thank you for correcting me!
Lots of negative comments here towards AI. Just curious, do you guys use it currently?
My work got me a perplexity pro subscription and it has honestly made me more productive. They’ve also rolled out some AI analysis features in some basic simulation SW I use and it saves time. Granted it’s a very narrow focus.
I use local LLM as an elaborate spell/style checker.
I also use ML upscaling for older (SD, 720p) and lower quality videos. Generally works very well, albeit it can be very fiddly and some more difficult content can require many passes and tweaks.
And we’re funding all of this via the monopoly like rents of most American technology companies.
Was anyone actually surprised though?
