Overview
- Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman posted on X that it is "mind-blowing" people are unimpressed by fluent conversational AI and media generation, calling critics "cynics".
- The remarks follow sustained user and press criticism of Copilot and Windows AI features for bugs, heavy resource use, intrusive behavior, and limited opt-out controls.
- Microsoft is pressing ahead with an agentic Windows strategy, introducing the tagline "Your canvas for AI" and positioning AI agents to handle tasks in the OS.
- Critics highlighted underwhelming demonstrations, including a marketing clip in which Copilot stumbled on a basic settings change that was later removed.
- The company has not announced changes to its Windows AI roadmap, even as some reports cite low Copilot accuracy and ongoing privacy concerns, and Elon Musk briefly replied "Good point" to Suleyman's post.
