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.

It is interesting to see his reaction to reality. He finds out that people think he’s peddling bullshit, and instead of asking why they think that, he dismisses them as irrational… That’s one way to run a company, but only if your company has a monopoly and customers can’t run away even if they want to.
Hence why Valve is releasing the Steam Machine to push SteamOS. It will illuminate a pathway to run away on. At least for gamers.
Many people can run away, but it requires effort.
His comparison to snake on his Nokia is actually good because in its current state AI is like a little gimmick for many users. Sure there are use cases but it can’t reliably perform any truly critical tasks because it makes terrible mistakes.
Imagine Nokia shoving snake in customers faces as it is being done with AI. Every phone marketed as OPTIMIZED FOR SNAKE. A big snake button on the phone as a shortcut to open it. Snake integrated everywhere. Trying to send a text? Would you like to play a round of snake first?
That’s what AI currently feels like.
have you heard of THE WORM i have installed THE WORM on everything you own THE WORM is great it can do POETRY and ART for you and also EMAILS are you happy about THE WORM ? THE WORM is monitoring your reaction to THE WORM at all times
Didn’t manufacture enough consent. That’s on you
And once again, Ed Zitron is proven right about the Business Idiots running everything. Jesus fuck these MBAbros are so fucking stupid.
why not just admit you overspent on datacenters, which you cant afford and trying to recoup some of the losses from your other products.
Any mind which can be blown by the lack of acceptance of pseudo-deterministic slop should be constrained to stewarding products used by only true believers.
Slopvangelical LLM thumpers are welcome chew on their shit all they like, just stop forcing the rest of us to partake.
“Don’t you have phones” moment
“Talking fluently”. You get completely meaningless answers. Big walls of text without content.
AI is a hindrance, not a helper.
FUCKING CLAP YOU IDIOTS
This, except it’s the CEO being questioned
He might be the dumbest ceo out there, and that is an impressive feat.
Stiff competition, that. This guy is just playing it safe, saying what his bosses want to hear.
Nope. Ballmer is and always will be the all time king R. He’s the dude that had MS pilot away from handheld devices because nobody will ever use cell phones. This was when MS was the only credible mobile OS. He oversaw Vista, he oversaw 8, both of which were complete disasters.
Though not a CEO, I’d say Don Mattrick made even dumber decisions than Ballmer. When asked flat out saying that if active duty military can’t use the new always online console they can use the last gen console or get fucked was… a choice.
Glad I covered my tracks with a well placed ‘might’ lol.
I forgot about that idiot and would love to go back to forgetting them.
C’mon… One more memory for the road…
Let’s throw a chair in his honour.
But could he jump that chair?
Pro tip: when your customers don’t like your product, it’s not their fault. It’s yours, and the appropriate response is not complaining or incredulity that people don’t like it. The appropriate response is to change the product or scrap it completely.
“The customer is always right” might get misused a lot, but it is correct in this instance.
If a lot of your customers don’t like something, it’s not something wrong with the customers.
One of the older variations of the expression is, “The customer is always right in matters of taste.” Here we’re talking about reactions to reality, so it doesn’t quite apply directly, but still, these people are probably honest about what they feel.
I always wonder if these areas the people’s legit feelings or is this “just for the sake of the show”.
I must be ceo material. I use this same type of argument when my partners seem unimpressed with my sexual performance.
If you think you need to blame the people for not being impressed by your product, the problem isn’t with the people.
