Mustafa Suleyman says people that are unimpressed with AI's capabilities are mind blowing to him, after recent backlash around Copilot and Windows as an agentic OS.

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.

    I was just thinking about this yesterday. AI has not helped me in any way shape or form. I don’t need it, i don’t want it, and it should NOT be forced onto people.

    I grew up teaching myself how to research and use Ask Jeeves, Yahoo!, AOL, and now Google, Duck Duck Go. I don’t need a dumb AI to tell me what i can find myself.

      Even if I do occasional turn to AI for some things, I absolutely do not want it to be integrated into my personal computer. The privacy implications are insane.

      I’m glad I made the switch to Linux months ago with my Windows install being relegated to a lil sandboxed VM I occasionally use for the odd Excel task here and there.

      I’m more concerned about ‘AI’ telling people incorrect information - and that information being further indexed and presented as fact elsewhere.

      It’s a compounding problem

      AI helps me a lot, but only because search engines became unusable.

      I treat AI how I used to treat google search

      I have two areas where i foud it a somewhat nice to have tool:

      Using stable diffusion to make avatars for roleplaying characters, as i simply can not draw shit.

      Having my Rimworld characters talk to each other.

      I use local models for both of those.

      I don’t want it in OS, in my search results and most defnetly not in my work or studies.
