Interesting to see "vibe" enshrined by the likes of Microsoft as an AI product word.

Especially when "vibe coded" can have a negative connotation meaning quickly put together without understanding.
In my mind, Vibe-anything means "some slop carelessly thrown together to ship as fast as possible." Wild that it's being used in a serious product name!
I’m just surprised they put the name of the e-waste slop company in their product
Maybe they were trying to make a pun on "Via Voice", the cursed IBM STT from the 90s?
I'm honestly more surprised that they could resist the temptation to call it Copilot
Microslop Copilot for Voice! After they renamed Office, they surely will rename this one, too.
