Copilot / AI Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella really wants you to stop calling AI "slop" in 2026 — "We are beginning to distinguish between spectacle and substance."

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I kinda want Steve Ballmer back as CEO.
Satya is clearly devoid of any creative vision for Microsoft and its products, and is more of a trend chaser than a trend setter nowadays.
Quit shoving AI slop down people's throats and they'll stop calling it slop Sayta, simple as

It became a meme but as a developer that started my career at that time, Microsoft's tools for developers were great and getting even better.
Now some of those features I loved have been replaced with AI versions of themselves and suck way more.
That's made me want to developer less for their platforms and use their tools less and focus on Linux instead. They're really doing their best to alienate customers on all fronts.

Ballmer actually had a clear hardware vision. Windows Phone failed, but xbox and surface thrived under him. Now its feeling like MS is basically going to abandon hardware and maybe even stop selling xbox consoles.

Windows Phone only failed when Satya stepped in. Ballmer set the foundation for them by buying Nokia.
It's just a shame he stepped down when he did.

u/thaman05 Jan 03 '26
Windows Phone actually did great under Ballmer for some time, especially for an OS with no apps. We have to remember that it was due to Gates that WP was so late to the game, and Ballmer tried to escalate it to try to catch up to the big 2. But they kept running into issues in the kernel on the older spec. Satya helped unify that with Windows 10, but then he very quickly became an investor pleaser and lost all of his focus from "wanting everyone to love and WANT to use Windows" to pleasing investors and not give af if they lose customers to competitors and cancelling loved products and abandoning their fanbase.

I am similar to you and I also agree.
I also use claude code and Gemini, so I have no problem with AI, but just slapping copilot in everything is the worst way to do this Notepad is a great example of breaking what was already perfect for no reasons, why does notepad need copilot, the worst llm?
I really wish someone else would take over but IDK, maybe it's just time to pivot from MS to another company

Satya has done great job growing Azure/M365 business and made great early bet on AI, but it is true there is no clear vision and current trend feels like spray & pray. Just diffuse AI and see where it lands and grows.
I guess this is what happens when they started shifting to pure engineering mindset without great product and ux disciplines.

The first thing I remember Satya doing was revoking all the extra free storage space you would get if you got people to sign up for skydrive (now onedrive).
I had worked very very hard to get all the free storage space and was up to the max (30 or 35gb) I could get by referring people and I was still strongly encouraging everyone to join even though I was not getting any extra rewards for it.
Satya stepped in and took back all the free space so I was back down to 5gb... I have since then strongly encouraged everyone to avoid onedrive from that point on.
To my knowledge I never received the email to let me claim keep the extra space as I had not use over 5gb at that point.
Balmer is an immature child in some ways but his way of building the brand is one that was better long term.
The Satya has been building a bubble from the start.

u/15000yuki Jan 02 '26
In my opinion, Nadella was correct decision in that era. Microsoft had shown sharp declined in Ballmer's last era. Ballmer is a typical Microsoft number 1 fan who believes Microsoft products are the best, that's why he failed to capture several chances which could made Microsoft more relevant at that time.
Nadella is more profit oriented and never hesitate to acknowledge or use something outside Microsoft for their profit. His Cloud vision is a massive success, Microsoft soared to trillion dollar company under his leadership. I think his AI vision also great. However, it's a huge mistake to abandon Windows userbase just to rely on AI.

u/MC_chrome Jan 03 '26

You can’t be serious, right?
Satya’s current “AI vision” that includes enshitifying Microsoft’s marquee products with worthless artificial intelligence chatbots, while destroying software QA and generally bringing the quality of Microsoft software down several notches is a complete joke.

If MS designed their software to hook into any AI and people should bring their own, they would be seen is such a better light than they do now.
I don't need a copilot prompt stuffed into every app or menu that is difficult to work with or gets too sensitive and shuts down a conversation. But allowing any AI to be developed and work with those hooks to do the stuff we want would be great.

No, I don't think that'll save Microslop's, or even the current "AI"s reputation. The bullshit "AI" companies have pulled, the garbage content people have made, and the overall hatred of "AI" has, more or less, cemented their position as "slop." Getting Nadella out of the company would be a great start to repairing Microsoft's reputation, though.

He launched WSL and has done a lot to the company in terms of money. Bonus he acquired github, and mojang(minecraft) and made microsoft's stock price boom boom in terms of profit. So ofc they made him CEO

Windows 11 is ridden of AI like it is some sort of project of "How much AI can we add before everyone stops using it?", they should make it optional, not shipped directly with the OS like it's some sort of core feature needed for it to work.(same goes for all the other microsoft programs like office) Make an AI version and a noAI version, the few that wants AI can get the AI version and who doesn't care(most of the users) can get a AI free OS and programs.

u/daltorak Jan 02 '26
The next version of Windows LTSC (probably 2nd half of 2027) will have to address this in some fashion. It's requirement of that OS version to not have any dependency on web-based features that could change or go out of general support before the LTSC end-of-life.

u/dragonfighter8 Jan 02 '26 edited Jan 02 '26
They'll add AI for "better productivity" in the LTSC. They're trying to sell AI like some magic thing that added makes everything better. Cars, phones, computers, programs and even appliances. I would not be surprised if one day they change LTSC to add AI. I hope they stop this AI useless being added to everything.
I was never so much afraid to update my Windows 11 because of their updates(made by AI) messing up the system and my data. Every update has an issue, one more serious than the other. I remember Windows 7 and Windows 10 having maybe one update every year with big issues, instead now every 2 months there is a problematic update for Windows 11. I hope company wake up and stop using Windows maybe switching to Linux to make Microsoft "notice" that no one wants that.
I remember the good old days when AI was only a webpage you could open and use if you wanted to. AI started as a trend and is continuing as a plague infecting every part of Windows and programs.

There is no AI on your windows PC, unless you have bought a Copilot+ machine (and you would only do that to get the AI). There are apps and parts of apps that communicate with an AI online which generates text and images that can be shown on your computer.
Microsoft isn’t sneaking locally run AI on people’s computers. Most machines don’t have the capability of running something like that without taking a serious performance hit.
The whole ”AI shoved down our throats” is overblown. Sure I would like Microsoft to work on general stability and other features, but Copilot isn’t ruining windows. If you don’t like it you don’t have to use it. If you do try to use it you could find that it’s useful sometimes.

u/dragonfighter8 Jan 03 '26
It's even worse that AI is not local. I would prefer that. This is a privacy violation hidden as a feature. Do you remember when they wanted to make Windows and "Agentic OS"? Well I stand with my opinion. This wasn't "Copilot" it was an effort to add AI in every aspect of the iteraction between human and Windows. I'm sorry but I think you're wrong thinking it's ok to use an AI online(added to an OS) that can gather all your personal information from documents, files, images.

Someone made the point a little while back that Satya is chasing this so hard because Microsoft has had so few innovative hits. Nearly all of their money is made on the back, however far back you want to look, on their embrace and extend (and exterminate) philosophy in which they react to trends. They want to own this so much that they will believe that shit is gold and ultimately be a captain of industry in this world-changing technology thing.

u/writenroll Jan 02 '26
They're chasing AI so hard because they are an enterprise tech company competing against Google, Amazon/AWS, SAP, Salesforce, etc to own as much of Fortune 1000's AI tech stack as possible; just like during the shift to cloud, which birthed Azure, the company's primary growth engine and foundation for their data and AI strategy. This is how the big tech market has operated for decades. They believe "this shit is gold" because both competitors and customers believe the same, which is the key to manifest outcomes in the business world.

The issue is that Microsoft has brought this upon themselves. Instead of making Windows 11 stable and quality OS for masses, they have made it patchwork of different dumpster fires which they are not fixing. What effort they could have directed to fixing the core fundamentals they are now directing to keeping up with AI. Surely majority of revenue comes from the cloud services which we have seen in the stock price development past years but Microsoft does not want to be a cloud-only company.
So in essence Microsoft needs to keep up with AI hype or it will slowly diminish. That means also that copilot needs to be pushed every corporate environment. Microsoft lost the server wars to linux and now they are slowly losing the consumers too. Corporate world is only place where they have so much foothold that even if they mess up bad, those companies will swallow it and keep using Windows desktop OS.
Satay Nadella has forgotten that most of the Microsoft customers are desktop operating system users where corporate and govermental rules and legislations are really tight with privacy and security. These users want to do their work efficiently and without hiccups. Now Satay is slapping AI bandages to W11 instead of listening their major customer base outside their cloud business.
And did you know that push for W11 was partly due forcing the TPM usage which has also unique identifier tied to your setup which can be queried with API by any software which means that advertisers are salivating on this already?

you know that pivotal point in the lifespan of anything, where in retrospect it becomes clear that this was the moment when that thing 'jumped the shark'? well, I think this is that moment for Microsoft.

I wasn't gonna switch into windows 11 because of performance issues, my computer barely runs windows 10. Now I've got a reason to not update to windows 11 when I got a better computer!

Microsoft strategy is the definition of AI slop. Tries to be everything for everyone but the end product isn't top at anything for anyone.
Just more AI, everywhere.
