Microsoft blocks the word Microslop on its Copilot Discord, bans users, and locks channels after backlash, showing tensions around its AI push

Microsoft’s aggressive AI push in Windows 11 through 2025 brought upon themselves the title Microslop. Unfortunately for the company, it’s everywhere on social media, and there isn’t a way to stop the spread, unless, of course, it’s their own Discord server.

    Obviously not, but their stock took a big dump and their AI spend is not sustainable yet they just keep going.

    My orgs Win 11 GM is AI free so non-AI Windows is still maintained so a switch could be flipped today.

    They could probably charge more for AI free Windows and Office

      Oh man, imagine poisoning your product and then charging more for the poison free version. You’ve Really reached god status when you can pull off a move like that.
