Serious question: if I were to use this, would Microsoft collect analytics on me (code written, keystrokes, mouse movements, sleep/work schedule, productivity metrics, etc) and monetize that data by using it to build some AI product like Copilot, or build a productivity dashboard so managers can fire people for not being productive enough (like Xsolla did), use it to serve me ads, or do some stupid/irresponsible/unet…
One approach would be to monitor what management considers productive / successful employees and also on employees who have gone on PIP's - then train the AI on that data set. You'd then be able to drive various alerts to manager and HR dashboards (ie, if a manager was failing to address alerts / manager their team it would be surfaced up a level).
Dystopia may be coming indeed. Remember, usually the key issue is not if product is a paid product, but are YOU paying for it. If not - someone else is the revenue source, and Microsoft et al will serve them. Maybe the individual licenses will not have this "management" layer add-on as an option.
But I think a very real chance of something like this occurring! If not right now eventually. In Sci-fi this is an inevitability (monitored through a smart watch or something etc).
