I don't think it will.

Microsoft's endgame is being the lord and master of AI. AI thrives on knowing more data about the user. What good is an assistant if it doesn't know your habits, your wishes and desires, your schedule and your attitude towards each person in your life?

This is not really a feature primarily aimed at helping the user directly (even though it's currently marketed as such), but to have the AI build up a repository of knowledge about you. Which is hopefully used locally only. For now this seems to be the case, but knowing Microsoft, once they have established themselves as the leading product they will start monetising it in every way possible.

Of course I'm very unhappy with this too. I'd like to have an AI assistant. But it has to be FOSS, and owned and operated by me. I don't trust microsoft in any way. I'm already playing around with ollama, RAG scripting etc. It won't be as good as simply signing up to OpenAI, Google or Microsoft but at least it will be mine.
