The article used the word "Microslop" thirteen times. I guess the author really wants search engines and bots to associate "Microslop" with "Microsoft". Apparently Microslop is a term for Microsoft products, or perhaps even Microslop is an intrinsic property of Microsoft.
...'kay, I'll stop it now.
It's rather curious how MS babbles so much about "AI", but its Discord server uses such a simple filter that can be evaded by ~~0N3 0F 7H3 0LD357 700L5 0F 7H3 1N73RN37 5H17P0573R~~ one of the oldest tools of the internet shitposter: leetspeak. It's almost like it knows it's selling a dud.
Also, I guess this thing run so far they don't even care about the Streisand effect any more.
