The best addictiveness is being helpful. But I bet it is too difficult for MS, so they will proceed with some psychological shit to keep users.
Not necessarily. If it answers you question and go go about your day, that’s not as good for Microsoft user numbers/engagement.
They probably want it to just barely get you exactly what you need to keep you on the edge. Once they start training models for user engagement the enshitification will begin

Phrasing!
Well it worked, in a way. It got many many more people addicted to hating Microsoft.
Addicted to Linux
The only addictive thing Microsoft has ever had a hand in is Age Of Empires II.
Solitaire is what led to Windows dominating the market
Pinball and that one Weezer vid would like a word.
And if a pharmaceutical or drug has addictive properties with no medical uses, the government outlaws it by scheduling it as having abuse potential. Seems like a big double standard.
When are microslop gonna learn that all they have to do is make a good product?
Microsoft doesn’t have it in their DNA to get people addicted to AI. That part of their DNA mutated into a cancer a long time ago.
Microsoft meant be “addictive” in the sense of using Microsoft’s AI to make a spreadsheet, type an email, make a PowerPoint etc… Microsoft wants AI to access all your information to so its results are custom to the user and provide huge value.
This is where value and profit are a contradiction. How much profit is Microsoft willing to potentially throw away in an effort to provide an incredible AI user experience? Spoiler alert: not enough.
When was the last time you were blown away by a corporation because you had such a great experience and couldn’t stop telling people about it? This is what Microsoft wants to happen with their AI but they haven’t been capable of doing that with any of their products for decades ei Windows 10, 11, Bing…
The last I thought “what a great product” from them was when I used winxp for the first time, and that was only because I came from 98se (which was just shy of the bane of humanity, whose title then belonged to win98). After a while using XP, I realized it was actually garbage, and that “good compared to” was not the measure I wanted for my os, and so began my search for a daily Linux. This was 20 years ago. They have decidedly not gotten better in those 20 years.
It’s been a long time since they have done anything well. Look at how much of a flop OneDrive was. They don’t have the framework as a company to develop and train AI to be the way the leaked email wants it to be
Man, surveillance loves snooping what AI is snooping.
They just want it to he addictive so that people use it a bunch. Then they try to sell enterprise level versions to companies they can say look how much people use it, it must be because it is so useful
Did they give their drug dealers jobs?
Drug dealers are self employed.
I prefer dealing for a small practice. The pay is a bit lower, but I appreciate the benefits and stability.
They’ll just make it free to education establishments. Eventually the next generation will only know it.
As they did with Windows and Office tools.
That was an effective long-term ploy but I don’t think it would work here - AI is a steam train running on pure cash to heat the boiler
You don’t always get what you want…
How’s that working out for them?
I’m addicted to laughing at how much money they’ve wasted on it. Does that count?
