Microsofts 3D video team always put all this effort into making the uis look good and fluid but it's all just fantasy, the disconnect between what the marketing team is saying it is and what the reality of their software is jarring.

The video is way too fast, I could barely tell what was going on. If you scroll past the video, the feature screenshots and animations are way more compelling.

    It's also not practical example of it's use, if I'm going to be using that tool to make a book about "baking ideas", I'd expect to have actual photos of the food I'm making in the book, is that too much to ask for? Maybe that's supposed to be showing "mock ups" or something?

      I think they made it pretty clear this is a tool to confront the "blank canvas" problem, aka writer's block. For me, this has been the best use of tools like stable diffusion and chatgpt; when I'm trying to be creative, I just start typing in the text box, and then with a few prods from the AI the ideas start flowing.

I dunno man, Teams has only given me a slight headache this morning instead of a cluster migraine.

  I was also about to make a snide remark about teams but at this point it's more tragedy than comedy.

    Bashing Teams is tooo much of a low hanging fruit at this point.

      Maybe they can use AI to write them a better Teams app.

        sure they did, but they can’t show

        Based on its performance characteristics, it's clearly using a DNN model, client-side, to generate and render the UI.

      It’s better than Slack now. I grimaced when we started using Slack back in 2016: those ~200ms UI delays between switching conversation tabs (and the ~3s freezes when switching accounts) were incredibly grating - but we hoped they’d fix the worst user-facing parts of Electron (and the excessive RAM usage) but 7 years later it’s still as bad as it’s always been. What’s their excuse?

You need to have a very good idea what the proposition is in order to interpret what the video is showing. The video looks like it's showing a video designer or a 3d interface designer. It's selling a concept in a way that's very well in-keeping with the spirit of the age, all chrome.

  I love that you used "chrome" in that sense of the word (useless UI embellishments) -- it reminded me of "Burning Chrome". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Chrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Chrome
