“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

Someone watched too much Star Treck.

I'm sure this will work well with all the open plan office concepts floating around...

let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI

If their ai is so good, why can't it rewrite itself?

Microsoft tried enforcing copilot on their developer, I can't find the link but there are some great issues in github where the developers tried arguing with the AI that goes a little like this:

"copilot, can you fix the bug explained in this issue?" "Sure I can, here's a pull request to fis issue #6969" "This code doesn't fix the issue explained, you must do x and y to fix it..." "You are correct! Here's another pull request where I did X and Y to fix the issue!" "No, you didn't..." "You are right! Here's another pull request..."

So on and so forth

I am definitely not surprised at this one bit. As someone who has been programming for decades, there are just parts of the job that require you to think and isn't just copy and pasting existing code. That is where this technology is going to fail to meet the hype.

Nah dude that's not even a yikes from me. This reeks of metaverse and I really don't give a shit because there's no way.

Tbh I actually like AI. A great equalizer for families with bare bones infrastructure, people in the middle east or Africa who only have one older smartphone per family can learn lots of basic education and get a fair shot at life - stuff like that is awesome.

But this is just laughable, he's so into the he forgot how people work and no one will adopt this, other than rich tech enthusiasts who chase after quirky things.

I guess they are just going to make the UI suck so much that you prefer to not touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Always chasing the latest fad and trying to make the OS sexy. OSes will never be sexy. Stoppit.

As someone described years ago, Microsoft is a chicken on fire.

I dunno. Thinking about XP gives me a semi.

Hello computer!

Rather: They want to control it and through it, control you.
