This makes sense and would explain the mainline windows versioning and probably the xbox versioning too!

I'm still forced to use Microsoft Outlook and teams, unfortunately, and boy oh boy is it bad.
Yesterday i spent 45 minutes of a 1,5 meeting (that would have been 45 minutes) on trying teams to please try and use the right microphone, please share a screen (not working under Firefox or chrome now, apparently)
I can't wait for the day that I have some time to get us off that dog shit

Well, that would explain a lot.
I'm also guessing that at "up to 30%" of the company's leadership decisions are being made by AI too.
And 100% of their product names are generated by AI. No human would be stupid enough to change something's name for zero reason.

Well, unless you're a product manager at Google apparently... Though with them you're lucky if its just a change of name rather than it becoming an entirely "new" thing, or just getting outright axed...

“Written by software” does not inherently mean AI.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that 20% to 30% of code inside the company’s repositories was “written by software” — meaning AI.
Nadella gave the figure after Zuckerberg asked roughly how much of Microsoft’s code is AI generated today.
I highlighted part of the article for you.

Are they including stuff written by intellisence and boiler plate for legacy code?
If they start with those products today with zero marketing budged and zero user base nobody would use it. Those CEOs are just clowns.
Even worse, whenever a good new technology does pop up they buy it and ruin it.
50% of my code is written by Intellisense...
Well that explains a lot
Does that mean that Microsoft shares are gonna crash?
They're attempting to make excuses for their inability to create functional software

Eww. Maybe it’s not really true and Microsoft just wants to remind us that big corporate AI is so legit that all the software you use all day was “helped” by it.
But really for me the issue is the company, not the AI. If I read an article about AI generated code making it into the Linux kernel or some gnu/kde/etc utilities, I don’t think I would worry much because those changes will be reviewed by cranky old nerds who care about the functionality of the software first. I have no such confidence in Microsoft’s processes.
