Bingo! And they’re doing it to enterprises too. Why do you think copilot is shoved into everything? Why do you think Recall is creeping towards being mandatory? Why do you think OneDrive isn’t optional anymore?
They don’t just want your data for advertising. They want to watch the entire capital machine in real-time to make sure there aren’t any gaps, and dissent, and most of all, anyone getting the jump on something new and big. OneDrive to rule them all.

It pisses me off the way they market this shit as AI; just a god surveillance tool, hiding behind a fucking chat bot.
And, anybody reading who’s tempted to defend the technology, fuck off - it’s a prediction algorithm. A fancy one, but that’s it. There no steps or logic or reasoning. There’s nothing hiding in the “black box”. No steps taken to construct the response - just statistical analysis on steroids spewing out most likely matches.
