I’m surprised they managed to make this part of the agreement even worse than it already was. Seems like sane legal terms are a strong competitive advantage.
This section of the Microsoft Services Agreement is not sane because it protects [obsolete] chatbot speech more than human speech, by virtue of the prohibition of use to create, train, or improve AI, which evidently does not apply to humans since Mustafa Suleyman (head of Microsoft AI!) said everything on the web was “fair game.”
Translation: everything on the web is fair game, _except the stuff from Microsoft._
Furthermore, it’s vague about what services (GitHub Copilot?) are included or excluded.
Will other companies miss the opportunity to eat Microsoft’s lunch right now by writing more clear and less draconian terms?
