what does chatgpt have to do with this?



ChatGPT is a large language model by OpenAI, Microsoft is OpenAI—s biggest backer with a USD $10 billion investment as of this year. Bing uses ChatGPT to augment search results, so it is reasonable to assume that ChatGPT or some research related to it is the model behind the predictive AI they are using in Windows 11 which was demonstrated in this video. https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/14/microsofts-new-bing-was-using-gpt-4-all-along/ 
 @a272784d Yes, chatgpt is not directly involved in this and sorry but I'm being a bit triggered by how targeted chatgpt is by press despite not being involved in most of the things it's being attached to. 

The AI hate is being so goofy that it almost seems like a red herring. In case in particular, it's not AI that's the issue - it's microsoft collecting everything which should be stopped no matter what's the reason tbh. 
 @a4dd4cb2 yes, I see your point. I suppose it is useful to keep in mind that AI as a technology is neither good nor bad, and it is bad actors wielding AI (like Microsoft spying on people) that is the real problem. But to be fair to the haters, so far I am seeing no checks and balances on corporations who are using AI right now, so I think it is reasonable to be worried that with AI empowering these corporations, we might all end up as proverbial "food" for these corporations.
But I did change the hashtag as per your recommendation, since I did mean to say GPT and not ChatGPT.
