@rrhoover looks to me like some rusted marketer's head got stuck in the era of catering to the MTV generation.
On second glance, yep, definitely some old marketer who has a weird concept of young people: "Microsoft’s AI fam from the internet that’s got zero chill!"
I respect Microsoft for the move, but if you have stuff like "A.I. fam from the internet that’s got zero chill." on your landing page, chances are, you won't be popular with the crowd you want to be popular with.

@freshfey haha, I stumbled over the same phrase. But they are not internetz enough, cause they lack the "z".
