So not only are people not reading the articles any more, they're not even finishing reading the headlines all the way through?

Ypu realize these companies can force growth via cramming it in to every channel they own, right? You realize growth on paper is not public endorsement, right?

But also, for people who do want to use ai, google’s ai is just better. Nano banana is genuinely impressive.

So why aren't Microsoft's numbers going up? Everyone's faking it except them?

Because they’re easier to ignore and disable than the biggest advertiser and search platform on the planet that gets their grubby hands in everything? MS doesn’t have nearly as much of an online presence, and that’s exactly where these “AI” are getting used.
On top of that, Google gets to feed search queries into their AI and generate results for most searches. Copilot does not get to arbitrarily answer every search someone types in to Windows.

Google Search being replaced by Gemini makes it easy for Google to have big AI numbers. Bing never got over its reputation of having bad result quality, and it’s only the default search engine on Windows PCs that don’t have Chrome or Firefox installed. My friend uses Windows and iOS and always sends me links to Gemini results, which normally are only slightly worse than “I’m feeling lucky.”

They've got 70% of the desktop operating system share. Seems like every other thread about them around these parts is how they're "shoving AI down everyones' throats." I'm dubious that they're "easier to ignore."
