I wonder if Microsoft tainting their core products with AI will end up backfiring from people no longer trusting their software. Excel spreadsheets might end up having errors from people (mis)using =COPILOT formulas, but this will never be a problem in other office suites. Hosting your project on GitHub might attract stupid pull requests from clueless people (mis)using the easy Copilot pull request functionality, but this will never be a problem on other forges. Maybe the market will respond to this long-term?

Microsoft is so entrenched that they could start live broadcasting throwing puppies into a wood chipper with no significant change to market share. They're going to continue slowly bleeding customers at about the same rate for the next few decades, probably.
