Microsoft is reportedly cutting back its sales expectations for AI (Artificial Intelligence) products in the wake of their big investment into the technology.

Windows 11 has recently come under criticism for installing AI tools and features with little input from Windows users. This has led to popular tools such as the RemoveWindowsAI GitHub script that claims to remove or otherwise disable AI powered features in Windows 11, freeing up resources.

According to ExtremeTech, Microsoft’s share of the AI market places is beginning to stagnate, with Google’s Gemini closing the gap in just two months. Now they’re reportedly scaling back their sales expectations since in a world of freemium ChatGPT and other AI apps, Microsoft isn’t exactly most peoples’ first choice.

Microsoft and AI apps have been a mixed bag. While they’ve managed some success with Bing Images powered by DALL-E, they’ve also done some skeezy things like Microsoft Recall, an app that basically records your screen in order to give you a timeline of your activity so you can remember what you’ve worked on or seen. Let us repeat that, it records your screen.

Microsoft however, seems incensed at the implication their AI experiments are staggering, and according to Futurism has said “The Information’s story inaccurately combines the concepts of growth and sales quotas… aggregate sales quotas for AI products have not been lowered”.
