... Wow. "It must be the users who are wrong".

I mean, MS has always had elements of this problem, but this is unusually bad.

There is no super smart "AI". An "AI" gives formulaic responses that always follow the same pattern, makes an incredible number of mistakes and claims different things all the time.

The researchers themselves were surprised by the initial public acceptance:

"I will admit, to my slight embarrassment … when we made ChatGPT, I didn't know if it was any good," said Sutskever.

"When you asked it a factual question, it gave you a wrong answer. I thought it was going to be so unimpressive that people would say, 'Why are you doing this? This is so boring!'" he added.

After several weeks of "AI" usage everyone figures out what the researchers knew all along due to their continued exposure.

Having a fluent conversation with a "super smart" ai is no good to me when it's constantly gaslighting me and making stuff up.

AI in search I could go for:

"Find that meme I downloaded last year with the girl standing by the burning house"

Creating AI slop though? No thanks.

Yet another salesman clown at the head of a multibillion dollar corporation.

MSFT reminds me of INTC.

I guess silicon valley truly makes you tone deaf.

They spent billions of dollars on compute costs and they need to pump the PKIs to justify it. That is the only explanation.

It is the same reason every app (be they web or mobile) gets a redesign every year.
