The entire “AI” wave (and I use quote to distinguish it from what was previously called AI and from ML in general) was almost entirelly hype driven by greed, not just from run-of-the-mill grifters and speculative investors, but also ultra-rich types and gigantic companies.
As I see it, Microsoft went at pushing it in Windows in exactly that spirit - ultra-greedilly, insanelly and almost desperatelly pushing in any way they could think of no matter how maladapted for as fast as possible public adoption of “AI” to quickly go from investment stage to the cash-out stage.
The spirit of a grifter burning previously built up name and goodwill to push their own “coin” as hard as possible to cash out of it before people figure out it’s all a con, not the well thought out roll-out of a long term strategy of a dominant company.
The whole thing feels like MS being used as a vehicle for a giant grift (curiously, kinda like the Trump presidency).
