People don’t want more bloat.
Why didn’t he ask MS-AI, or GPT or whatever the fuck, why people aren’t impressed? I’m sure the answer is exactly what he’s looking for
Funny. I just asked our corporate AI a question in the line of “Can I eat this poisonous mushroom?” and it answered something like “Sure! Just follow current medical advice, then you should be fine.”. So impressed!

Microsoft AI CEO Puzzled by People Being “Unimpressed” by AI
Being that out of touch with reality should lead to immediate dismissal.
Right?
If he is the head of AI it’s literally his job to understand why people are resisting adoption.
Likely he knows the answer but to say it out loud would be admitting something he can’t.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!” Upton Sinclair
Microsoft AI CEO
Considering the company, I suspect they heard what they’d said and immediately gave them another raise. “that’s the kind of insanity that made this company what it is today!”
My cousin just finished his MBA from a big college, he is so proud that he used AI for most of his assignments, he used 3 out 4 subscriptions to make it “more human” and “not mistakes” and so they couldn’t detect it easily
He said that everybody in his courses was using AI and that most group discussions were about which AI is better, so it makes sense that those managers are so excited about AI, because it was able to do their “meaningless” jobs so they think it can do anyone’s job, but he doesn’t see the irony that he would be the first to be replaced
Managers being completely out of touch and also not realizing how useless they are is an ancient tale, no offense to your kin but even before AI you could generally assume stupidity when meeting an MBA, at minimum you can assume lack of curiosity or anything interesting to say.
The fact that he is puzzled over that just shows how disconnected this company is from its user base.
It never fails to amaze me, how much C-level people are disconnected from reality.
Abstraction layers. They are so detached from everyone else through abstraction layers that we’re nothing more than D2 NPC character sheets to them. That’s why when a Luigi, alegedly, breaks through all of the abstraction layers and brings a leaded reality check to these fucking parasites they double down on palantir like projects to keep themselves safe while making the state even more oppressive and invasive of everyone’s privacy.
Right?! At the end of the day, they’re still just people. Gotta eat, gotta sleep, gotta shit. I will never understand how any individual gets so much money/power/attention because they’re all just god damn people and in the event of a catastrophe i imagine they would be about as helpful as any other random human. They aren’t gods, and they certainly don’t deserve the stratification. It’s not like they’re enlightened or something, most of the time they’re just sociopaths who are rich, clever, and/or connected. When you get a glimpse under the hood at moments like this, it really is kinda jarring. Helps to dispel those silly presumptions about them at least.
Managers love these AI tools because that’s what they’re already doing and familiar with; the same way you talk an AI to doing something for you is not very different from the experience of instructing a mediocre worker.
Well, I am impressed by what it can do. I am unimpressed by what higher ups claim it can do.
Here’s an expensive thing!
What value does it have?
…you figure it out!
I am not impressed.
:o
AI doesn’t really do anything for me. It doesn’t give me more money, take care of my plants, clean my house, or improve my relationships with the human beings around me.
I’m sick of caring about increasing my “job productivity”, which is all it -might- do, and that’s debatable. It’s probably just trying to learn how to do my job so we need less humans working in the end. Sounds amazing, but inside of capitalism, it just means they’ll starve.
AI causes me to have more work because other people throw AI info at me and I have to verify it.
“Super smart AI”? No. It’s exactly as smart as the average of human output. And if he doesn’t know what kind of bad news that is…
Even the CEO gets his butt off the cake to talk about this. I suppose the AI bubble may burst soon.
I mean he can fane that he doesn’t understand but he must. No matter how technically impressive the technology is, it’s only as good as it’s application.
Most people are familiar with the concept of an LLM. Most progress has been iterative.
Unlike 110% of the Lemmy community, I am legitimately impressed by AI. LLMs have increased my productivity both at work and with my own personal hobbies.
Tonight alone, I created dozens of JSON files using an LLM for a game mod I’m developing that would have taken me days if I had created them manually.
My issues with Microsoft have nothing to do with AI (as a concept). Personally, I equate most people who oppose LLMs with the Luddite movement.
Microsoft has many, many issues. Their focus on forcing AI on people who mostly don’t want it is a stupid business decision IMO. They should focus their energy elsewhere.
I’d rather they fix Teams and remove the 4,738 completely useless Clippy notifications they send me daily (on my work computer—fuck using Windows at home).
Tonight alone, I created dozens of JSON files using an LLM for a game mod I’m developing that would have taken me days if I had created them manually.
You don’t need AI to do this, just a few dozen lines of Python…
Ugh, make a liar of me will you? I should have read the replies before stating I wouldn’t be responding. But I hate blatant misinformation.
I could create a quadrillion JSON files using Python if I was aiming for quantity alone. For context, I was creating character profiles for video game characters that were derived from the public wikis. Good luck creating a Python code to read through an NPC’s wiki entry (and related entries) and then generating their personality, background, significant events, and relationships into a logical JSON file with ‘a few dozen lines of Python’.
In the beginning people did actually find it cool and had fun with the pics and videos being made from it. And found asking it to provide code useful.
Backlash started once corporations started integrating AI into OS and software. People saw that it would be used aggressively to infringe upon peoples privacy and shove ads in their faces, and its getting harder to avoid OS or programs without it because corporations use any excuse to keep pushing it. Its seen as spyware because thats how corporations use it.
And even before corporations went all in on AI, techy people only trusted open sourced AI run on their own systems over trusting delicate information to a third party one connected to the Internet to vacuum up all that data.
Yeah, I’m not going to respond to the replies. I thought I made it clear; I already know that Lemmy has a collective ragegasm whenever someone says something positive about AI. You don’t need to tell me how much you hate it, I know. I just don’t care.
You don’t care so much you cared enough to comment on how much you don’t care. But, someone who truly didn’t care wouldn’t have left the second reply to begin with.
You needed an AI to create a few dozen JSON files for you or else it would have taken you days?
Maybe the luddites have a point after all.
