> And on Whatsapp, I want to talk to people on Whatsapp directly, without a chatbot in the middle.

They're doing this with Skype too. It annoys me. I have a list of business contacts, and that's all I use it for. My friends are elsewhere. I don't want to talk about the weather or politics. I have specific people to talk or chat with for specific topics.

Microsoft, you are already trying to be my friend via Bing and whatever that is built right into Windows 11 already.

Rant finished. I guess I understand why they do that. If I only used Skype, and no other Microsoft products, how else would I discover all the wonderful experiences I could have with an LLM?

And change is inevitable, and how much money do I give Microsoft for this particular service to stay the same, etc., etc., etc..
