Mustafa Suleyman had his mind blown by the community's negative reaction to Microsoft's "agentic OS" comments.
While for us, average Joes and Janes, the topic of AI remains controversial at best, the same cannot be said about big-tech moguls, who – much like they did with NFTs and the metaverse in the early 2020s – have almost unanimously hopped on the next-big-thing's bandwagon and are now integrating AI into every product they can get their hands on.
Putting these contrasting views of artificial intelligence on full display is Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, who expressed bemusement about people being "unimpressed" by the technology in a recent tweet.

In response, Suleyman said it "cracks me up when I hear people call AI underwhelming," adding that he finds it "mindblowing" that anyone could be "unimpressed that we can have a fluent conversation with a super smart AI that can generate any image/video" and calling those lambasting Microsoft's push for AI "cynics."
Over in the comments, some users pushed back on the CEO's use of the word "unimpressed," arguing that it's not the technology itself that fails to impress them, but rather Microsoft's tendency to put AI into everything just to appease shareholders instead of focusing on the issues that most users actually care about, like making Windows' UI more user-friendly similar to how it was in Windows 7, fixing security problems, and taking user privacy more seriously.
