If you were already skeptical \u2014 if not livid \u2014 about Microsoft\u2019s ongoing campaign<\/a> to drown Windows 11 with useless AI features, you\u2019re really going to hate this video.<\/p>\n

In a 30 second clip uploaded over the weekend<\/a>, programmer Ryan Fleury demonstrates how even using Window 11\u2019s purportedly AI-powered search bar to do exactly what it tells you to d<\/em>o doesn\u2019t come close to working as advertised.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the start of the video, the settings page search bar, with its gleaming AI icon, recommends searching \u201cMy mouse pointer is too small.\u201d This goes against the common search function wisdom that you should look up using keywords, not entire sentences, but whatever: AI magic can take care of that for you, right?<\/p>\n

But as it turns out, when Fleury searches \u201cMy mouse pointer is too small,\u201d as exactly phrased by the search suggestion, nothing turns up. He waits around ten seconds with no luck, either. But when he looks up \u201ctest\u201d afterwards, he gets three results.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a real company,\u201d Fleury fumed.<\/p>\n

He was joined by dozens of netizens who jeered the misfiring feature using a tough-but-fair new pejorative: \u201cMicroslop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether you like it or not, Microsoft isn\u2019t backing off from basting Windows 11 with AI features. It\u2019s ended support for its old operating system<\/a>, Windows 10, in the hopes that you\u2019ll upgrade and try out its Copilot-integrated successor, its AI chatbot slash virtual assistant.<\/p>\n

The AI transformation is intended to be so sweeping that various executives have described the pivot in terms<\/a> such as turning Windows 11 into an \u201cagentic OS,\u201d or better yet, into a \u201ccanvas for AI.\u201d Some of the changes include putting an icon for Copilot in the middle of your taskbar and integrating Copilot into Windows Explorer, allowing you to right-click generate summaries of documents. Other features in the works include Copilot Vision, which lets the AI analyze whatever appears on the desktop display, and Copilot Actions, which lets the AI perform tasks on your behalf.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many users fear that the deeply woven AI integrations pose a security risk, a fear that is informed by past Windows 11 AI blunders including when earlier versions of its AI \u201cRecall\u201d feature<\/a>, which creates a history of your computer activity by taking constant screenshots of it, was caught saving sensitive data like Social Security numbers, and storing the screenshots in an unprotected folder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The backlash against Microsoft\u2019s AI pivot has quickly mounted ever since it announced it\u2019d be ending support for Windows 10, but as anti-AI sentiment at large also heightens, the outrage has recently reached a boiling point with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella\u2019s recent plea<\/a> that we should stop using the word \u201cslop,\u201d the new slang for describing low quality text, images, and videos mass produced by AI models. Unfortunately for Nadella, he unwittingly precipitated a classic case of the Streisand effect, and soon after his \u201cslop\u201d comments, the term \u201cMicroslop\u201d suddenly went viral online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018AI writes 90% of our code!!!!,’\u201d Fleury mocked, referring to boasts made by Nadella<\/a> and other tech CEOs<\/a>. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, we can tell.\u201d<\/p>\n
