This headline nailed it! Turns out, Microsoft just learned the hardest lesson in AI - distribution doesn’t beat usefulness 😳
Microsoft’s AI Copilot was supposed to be everywhere.
In Windows. In Office. In your workflow.
Turns out it’s mostly ignored.
Recent reports say Microsoft quietly cut internal Copilot sales targets by up to 50%.
Not because of vibes. Because of math.
→ Copilot ~14% market share → ChatGPT ~61% → Gemini sprinting into 2nd place
And this is with Microsoft’s insane advantage:
Windows + Office + Azure + OpenAI access 🤯
If that stack can’t force adoption, maybe the problem isn’t distribution. It’s value.
Enterprises tried Copilot. Piloted it. Demoed it. Bought licenses.
Then, employees opened ChatGPT in another tab.
Because most of today’s “AI agents” are confident interns with no context.
So when Microsoft says“70% of Fortune 500 have adopted Copilot”, what it really means is this:
Procurement bought it. Employees didn’t.
Most importantly, forcing AI into everything didn’t help.
People didn’t ask for:
→ AI in Paint → AI watching their documents → AI narrating PowerPoint like a hostage video
They asked for one thing: AI that actually saves time, or does something humans couldn’t do before.
Right now, Copilot does neither.

NOBODY IS ASKING FOR AI
How do these fucking numb skulls not understand this by now, All these companies are putting all of this time and energy and money researching and developing and building data centers all for some shit that THEY want, but no consumer is actually asking for.
Nah, AI is super useful for coding. There were some early detractors, but pretty much no one avoids using it for coding now if they want a significant speed up.
No matter how clean your code is, there will be repetitive patterns that you won’t want to abstract further, and AI at bare minimum speeds that up immensely.
You add things like having faster recall than manually searching for solutions a lot of the time, and AI powered conversions, and there is a very clear value proposition.
There are a lot of problems with AI implementations as they currently are etc etc, but lets not let anger be the death of nuance.
speak for fucking yourself!
I mean, this is common sentiment.
There are a few holdouts but very few people coding, especially on things which don’t have extremely precise requirements are avoiding this.
It’s buggy and not as fast as manual coding
