BrikoXMicrosoft bundles Office AI features into Microsoft 365 and raises prices
adarzadidn’t google just do the same thing?
not enough people springing for the ai-addon by itself, so they just force it on everyone instead, at a ‘lower-but-still-higher’ price.
I cancelled my Kagi subscription for a similar reason, didn’t wanna fund their AI tool development.
Yo my knowledge they just use existing models. But yes, I think it’s a good idea to request they specifically don’t add to the steaming pile of slop
liljaHave you found a viable alternative? I like how Kagi takes my money instead of showing me ads and lets me filter out domains.
1) I use several privacy focused search sites:
2) subscribe to an AI generated content blocklist in uBlock Origin:
3) have local filters in uBlock Origin for sites like x, pinterest, reddit, etc:
In uBlock Orign you can make custom filters to block specific websites like so:
reddit.com$document pinterest.com$document pinterest.co.uk$document x.com$document
Possibly linux

Hopefully lots of people cancel which makes other companies wary of trying similar.
profI’m with you, but cancel and use what alternative? 😄
Office 365 has its claws in every business I know. Even if you switch to LibreOffice or something similar, the formats will be fucked, macros will probably break and most workers will have difficulties with a new UI.
I wish this de facto monopoly would not exist, but Microsoft could probably start killing people and folks would still use Office.
So will business customers be able to disable the AI “features”?
OpenOffice, folks.
*libreoffice
Just not MS.
