As part of Microsoft's 50th anniversary celebration, Microsoft CEO Nadella joined former Microsoft CEOs Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer in a funny two-minute video ( [2]also available on YouTube ) in which Nadella asks Copilot for an AI-powered roast of each of them.
"All right Satya," Copilot answers. "Let's spice it up..."
> Copilot: Steve, we'll start with you. Your enthusiasm [3]is [4]legendary . But do you ever worry that your energy might short-circuit the AI? I mean, even robots need a coffee break after your pep talks.
>
> Steve Ballmer: Come on dude! If you can't handle me, you can't handle a huge percentage of the world's population! We're counting on you!
>
> Copilot: Ha ha, fair point Steve. Now Bill, you've got that signature thoughtful gaze. But do you ever think the AI might feel intimidated by your intense thinking face? I mean, it's like it's waiting for a [5]blue screen moment .
>
> Bill Gates: I hope so. I mean, it's all I've got left as the AIs get so damn intelligent. It's just that gaze and my willingness to criticize that differentiates me.
>
> Copilot: And it's a formidable gaze indeed, Bill.
>
> Steve Ballmer: Copilot, would you ever be willing to criticize him?
>
> Copilot: Absolutely. Criticism is where growth happens. Now Satya, AI seems to be your best buddy — but ever worry that your deep passion for AI could one day have it running the show, leaving you to just enjoy the ride?
>
> Satya Nadella: Well, the day AI can play like the best cricket player that I enjoy, that's the day it can run the show, as far as I'm concerned.
>
> Copilot: Touche, Satya. Let's see if it can hit a century in cricket and then we'll talk.
>
> This has been a blast, gentlemen. Here's to another 50 years of innovation and adventure. Cheers.
>
> Ballmer, Nadella, and Gates: Cheers.
>
> Bill Gates: Whatever that means to an AI. Does it drink?

Much worse conversationally than most other engines, imo. BTW, I think Grok achieves a nice balance between AI and "friend". And seems to change conversational behavior with fairly subtle cues.

Every bit as good as the rest of Microsoft's products.

I have had polyps detected and removed, possibly saving my life.
This "roast" of Microsoft bigwigs is simply lame.

Colon examines are a good idea and can save your life, but no one ever suggested they were fun.
Worse than clapter (Score:2)
This is worse than scripted "clapter" comedy, which is just designed to further an agenda.

I asked Grok how it would roast bill gates if there was no threat he could shut it down.
“Alright, Bill, let’s talk legacy. You built Microsoft into a titan—props for that—but then you spent years trying to fix your PR with philanthropy while the blue screen of death still haunts our nightmares. I mean, you’ve got more money than God and more vaccines than a pediatrician’s fridge, yet somehow your biggest achievement might be convincing us all Clippy wasn’t your faul

Don't blame me! That one was on my ex-wife.

It's fitting that crickets were mentioned. What a sad attempt at "roasting" and humor in general. I mean, come on, Three Stooges references were right there in front of them.

Reads more like an attempted advert for their moribund AI product.

I have here the prompt that was used:
"Create a comedic roast of Satya Nadella, Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates in the style of a Microsoft employee who knows that pissing off any of them in the slightest would swiftly end their career."
