Today: Microsoft's AI Advocacy Backfires: The Rise of 'Microslop' and Growing User Backlash (ironically, this seems to be a slopfarm)
If you begin to classify all your products as "clown" (or "cloud"), then you have a growing burden of explaining what the heck you mean by that. Eventually you brush off the questions, basically asserting that everything from Windows to Office is now "cloud".
The boy cried "wolf".
Now the same is happening with "AI" (force-fed as "slopware"). Remember when Microsoft pretended that "Active Desktop" in Windows was 'proof' that Windows could not be separated from Internet Explorer? Why would one want a Web page as a wallpaper? Almost 30 years after Windows 98 almost nobody wants this or asks for it.
The boy cried "wolf" again.
So now Microsoft is trying to attach slop (or prompts) to anything it can get away with. It tries to fake usage levels or so-called 'demand'. This leads to backlash and, in turn, disdain, avoidance, user exodus etc.
