Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff criticized Microsoft's Copilot AI service, calling it a "tremendous disservice" to the industry and comparing it to Microsoft Clippy, which he believes lacks real value. Despite Microsoft's strong positioning in the AI sector and predictions of becoming the world's most valuable company, Benioff forecasts a decline in Copilot's user base. OpenAI reportedly incurs daily operational costs of up to million for ChatGPT and may face a potential billion loss over the next year, despite receiving .6 billion from investors, including Microsoft and NVIDIA, raising its market capitalization to billion. Analysts speculate that Microsoft could acquire OpenAI within the next three years.
