Microsoft has wasted their opportunity.

When ChatGPT first came out, Satya and Microsoft were seen as visionaries for their wisdom in investing in Open AI. Then competitors caught up while Microsoft stood still. Their integration with ChatGPT produced poor results [1] reminding people of Tay [2]. Bing failed to capitalize on AI, while Proclarity showed what an AI-powered search engine should really look like. Copilot failed to live up to its promise. Then Claude.ai, Gemini 2.0 caught up with or exceeded ChatGPT, and Microsoft still doesn't have their own model.

Microsoft hired the infamous guy from Inflection AI and fired the one responsible for Bing Chat which was actually good and it's all downhill from there. Bing Chat actually made Google nervous!

I still remember "You have been a bad user, I have been a good Bing". It was refreshing to see a chat with some personality at the time.
