It’s a steep price for early access to a promised AI-powered future

Honestly I don't even think it's that unreasonable, considering how much money a tool like this can save.
Nevertheless - it's yet another subscription to eventually make us reliant on services with monthly payments forever. And it's Microsoft, so there is no way this isn't another step towards a boring cyberpunk dystopia.
Don't forget that Office itself is also a subscription, even tho everything you need has been there since Office 95 or so. *) I'm still not used to that idea.
Man, this AI really turns out to be a golden goose and an overall weird thing. Can't we have Skynet instead of this boring death by a thousand cuts?
*) It's only a tiny hyperbole.
