Plenty of copilots, but clearly no competent captain anywhere to steer the ship at Microsoft.
Probably not WhatsApp, because Meta have already stuffed their own AI there.

Every product with users is now a merely channel for shoving the vendor's AI down the user's throats.

In the ages of radio, movie theaters, and television, there were comparatively fewer channels of communication through which the masses could be manipulated. AI is the next evolution of the system of control (advertisement and thought-shifting so subtle as to be essentially undetectable) so it must be present on every channel.

Never have the studies of rhetoric and critical thinking been more necessary.
