The next product announcement where Microsoft incorporates AI as a central feature will cause me to roll my eyes. I expect we'll see a dozen or more of these this year. They are ultimately just repackaging models discussed here in a user friendly UI.

It looks like it opens AI art to the masses which is probably a net positive.
I expect hoards of graphic designers to arrive at Redmond with pitchforks and torches this afternoon.

Graphic designers tend not use microsoft tools. I mean , when is the last time you saw someone fire up MS Publisher for a professional graphics project?
True story.
The current design ideas in MS products are terrible so I doubt how much AI can help that. I AM curious to see how design tools evolve to work with all this new AI tech being integrated. I wonder how long is left before pixel pushing is just for final polish and a designer's role shifts to focus on properly explaining the nuance of a problem to a chatbot.

you mean - the problem with Microsoft is they have no taste?
