Microsoft lowers AI software sales quota

I keep wondering how many things like this need to happen before the other shoe drops and the ring-around-the-rosie investment structure collapses. It's become very obvious that "AI" in its current form isn't going to turn a profit, at least not in the short term.

Where is AI actually selling and doing well? What's a good resource for these numbers? What are the smaller scale use-cases where AI is selling well?

I am generally curious, because LLMs, VLMs, generative AI, advances are proving useful, but the societal impact scale and at this the desired rate is not revealing itself.

You´d think after Clippy and Windows 7, they´d take the clue and stop producing software that creates friction for users, instead of removing it?

No wonder if Microsoft failed to deliver a single AI tool that adds value.
