"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Ok, but if the goal is "avoid paying for AI I don't want", M365 is worse. They were one of the first companies to start bundling it into every license tier available.

They didn't immediately raise their prices when they started bundling it, but it's the same tactic of using whatever tricks they can to inflate user numbers of AI.

Edit: In agreement with your main point though. Lots of angry people on lemmy who aren't the target audience for MS products and don't actually use it who make a ton of noise about it.
