I really don’t get this strategy. I get why it’s all over Office, VS, and elsewhere: MS wants to train AI to replace all office workers.
But paint? How does this make them money? Do they expect people to subscribe to Paint, or to windows as a whole, in order to access this AI? Because seemingly few people want it, and most feel put upon paying for an AI feature they don’t want or use. I think they’re going to lose business over it. Real business, Business business, who re-up their 3000+ licenses of Office every year. They’ve already lost my business, but that’s nothing for them.
But again, who do they think is paying for AI in Paint? In particular, who’s paying enough to cover the costs of it? because AI is expensive!
