Microsoft enrages developers with cringe tweet that reckons Copilot can finish your code before you finish your coffee

by

Microsoft has recently faced criticism for comments related to its AI development. Just days ago, Pavan Davuluri, who leads Windows development, shared plans for the operating system to become more AI-driven, but the post received so much negative feedback he had to turn off comments.

Microsoft recently posted on X (formerly Twitter) boasting about their Copilot AI completing code quickly, saying, “Copilot finishing your code before you finish your coffee.” This message was met with a negative reaction from the tech community, who don’t appreciate the idea of relying so heavily on AI for coding.

People online are reacting negatively to Microsoft’s recent announcements. Many believe the company doesn’t understand what its users and developers actually want or need. One user called the announcements “bait,” while others pointed out that features like Copilot automatically finishing code aren’t as impressive as Microsoft seems to think. Overall, there’s a strong feeling that Microsoft is disconnected from its community.

Okay, so this post I saw on X has blown up – over 215,000 views and more than 200 replies! But honestly, a lot of the comments aren’t exactly positive. People are either poking fun at Microsoft for missing the mark with this one, or they’re pointing out that Copilot’s coding skills aren’t quite good enough to just let it run wild and build things without a *ton* of careful review. It seems like you still need to spend hours double-checking its work, which kind of defeats the purpose, right?

Microsoft is currently struggling with how people view the quality of its products. Many users are frustrated with problems in Windows 11, so they’re reacting negatively to Microsoft’s promotion of AI, feeling that the company should prioritize fixing Windows first.

Many people replying to a recent post on X are jokingly blaming Windows 11’s issues on features like Copilot, which sometimes creates code that’s inefficient or doesn’t function correctly. While Copilot isn’t the only AI tool that can write code, many developers agree that none of these AI chatbots are very good at it yet.

It’s becoming clear that jokes about the quality of Windows are starting to feel true. Is the current state of the operating system due to developers relying too much on AI? We probably won’t ever find out for sure. However, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has stated that AI now generates about 30% of Microsoft’s code, and that’s not exactly improving Windows’ image.
