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’m amazed by AI and what it can do, compared to what computers could do in the past. Its truly astonishing at how far we’ve come and we can marvel at the capabilities.
I still dont want to use it though. It’s not reliable enough for what I would actually use it for, and if I had a job that could make use of it, I’d be counting down the days until it puts me out on the street.
This guy appears to be a bit of a dullard.
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.
I don’t know. Microsoft has a multi decade history of forcing people into using an trash product due to CIA/govt contracts corruption or something, never due to being the superior product on the market. So why would anyone think they’d deliver anything worthwhile now? A bunch of crap that you have to overpay to be underwhelmed by has always been their standard.
Fuck AI. I don’t want it.
Remember Blizzard and diablo immortal, when they got booed during the reveal of the game, and then the devs were like, “does no one have phones?” Some of these CEOs and DEVS are so out of touch with what their customers want because they would rather huff their own farts all day, enjoying the smell of their own brand, instead of admit that they led product development to an area where there wasn’t market demand amongst their consumers.
For some reason it is not mindblowing to me that the Microsoft AI CEO is astronomically out of touch with normal people.
I think it is probably the behavior of Microsoft as a company that makes me feel that way.
I don’t want to talk to a fucking computer. I want to spend more time with my friends and family. Give me that and I will be impressed.
Dear Microsoft CEO and C-suite people.
Push back on your investors now before it’s too late. AI features are ruining your product and its image.
A lot of companies are tied in up this AI bubble and Microsoft is not too big to fail in this regard. Your customer-base has gotten by just fine without AI and invasive screen-capture technology used to support it, for decades at this point. Most people see your product as an operating system: a product designed to support other products. They do not want more capabilities from it, and have come to rely on good support for hardware compatibility, stability updates, performance updates, and most importantly, security updates. It is the darling of OEM PC installs, and government and commercial enterprise continue to renew their site licenses because of it. These are the core features that will continue to bring value and keep people on your platform, not AI.
If you firmly believe that agentic AI is the future, make it an optional installable product or a completely distinct operating system altogether. This is strategic since it has radically different marketing needs than Windows or Windows Professional, and supports a distinct subset of your overall install base. Foisting this feature set on your existing users is doing nothing more than artificially inflate adoption numbers, and you’re risking the entire enterprise to think your investors don’t already know this. It’s not smart, it’s not even brinksmanship or a bold technology decision. It’s reckless.
CEO articles most often than not are just corpo salespeople telling you about trash they are trying to push on people. They are literally paid millions of dollars by the wealth class to not tell the truth unless under oath in court or a deposition. They’re not paid for hard work or leadership, if you’ve worked in a corp setting for at least a week that much is obvious. They are paid buckets full of money to ignore or suppress their morality for stock prices. It’s obvious when it’s garbage like language models sold as agi, but the same is true for the rest of the pr vomit they feed to news agencies.
I 👏 don’t 👏 want 👏 or 👏 need 👏 AI 👏 on 👏 my 👏 computer!
Good thing I don’t use Windows so I won’t have to deal with it whatsoever. 😌
Real answer is that the direction AI is going right now is to save money for billionaires, not to improve the lives of everyone else.
Wait, Microsoft’s “AI CEO” is a human? If AI is supposed to be replacing jobs, why not start there?
