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.

    So they acknowledge the backlash, now what? They’re probably not gonna change anything regardless.

    Anyway, why does Microsoft need an “AI CEO” and how is CEO different from president? Is there also a Windows CEO, or an AI president at Microsoft?

      They’ve all got so much invested in AI that they’re not going to back off.

      Any kind of acknowledgement of failure might pop the bubble.

          “Fake it till you make it” is a time-tested business strategy.

          Especially when you’re considered too big to fail.

          And also when you don’t consider survivor bias when trying to “learn” from the success stories of the past.
