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.

"get offended" is just what the clickbait news cycle made of it. It was based on the post at [1], and this is all it said:

> We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other

Are you sure you have the correct reference?

I think everyone else is relating to

		Heh well, that article says it "clearly infuriated executives at the company", and links to [1], which is exactly what I described. But banning it on Discord does kind of retroactively prove their point, I suppose. [1] https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/microsoft-satya...

When a CEO says "We need to get beyond the arguments of X" it is universally a polite, PR-scrubbed way of saying, "Please stop talking about X, it is hurting our business" which is how the media interpreted it.
