There are clear AI-specific reasons why it's being crammed down everybody's necks.
Namely: someone in management has bet the entire strategy on it. The strategy is not working and they need to juice the numbers desperately.
- philipwhiuk 10mo agoIt's not really AI itself though, it's just whatever the current hype cycle is - it was crypto and cloud before this.
- account42 10mo agoThere is at least a magnitude difference in the spread.
- marginalia_nu 10mo agoCloud is probably the better comparison, since crypto never had the sort of mainstream management buy-in that the other two got. Microsoft's handling of OneDrive in particular foreshadows how AI is being pushed out.
- lawtalkinghuman 10mo agoThe difference is OneDrive is moderately useful.
- rolph 10mo agoi dont like onedrive very much. i get it its useful as a pigeonhole, what i really dont like is how it is used. its the thing that moves files to onedrive and destroys local copies, that i hate, and onedrive is something that enables that. so i dont hate onedrive, i just dont like it.
- xigoi 10mo agoLLMs are also moderately useful.
- blibble 10mo agothe comparison is pretty good actually "AI" agents randomly delete your files and so does OneDrive
- antiframe 10mo agoI have never received a Crypto spam email from any place where I opted out from it. Same for cloud. It feels different. With crypto it was everyone wanting to ride the hype train. With AI they spent a bunch of money up front and are desperate to see ROI.
