Nope, that's a very fair poke at MS. They've gone so far into AI adoption that it's become absurd.

- They have VPs posting on Linkedin about rewriting existing code using AI and adhering to arbitrary metrics of a x% rewrite and laying off y% of engineers that used to work on it.

- Renaming one of their major flagship product lines (MS Office) to (MS Copilot Apps 365).

- Forcing AI features on users despite not wanting it, and overriding OS configuration that should turn it off.

- Executives publicly shaming the general public for not wanting "all the AI all the time".
