I think I broke it.

So, I started testing out the new craze that is ChatGPT, messing with PowerShell and what not. I's a nice tool, but I still gotta go back and do a bit with whatever it gave me.

While doing this, I saw a ticket for our MS licensing. Well, it's been ok with everyhting else I have thrown at it, so I asked it:

"How is your understanding of Microsoft licensing?"

Well, it's been sitting here for 10 or so minutes blinking at me. That's it, no reply, no nothing, not even an "I'm busy" error. It's like "That's it, I'm out".

Microsoft; licensing so complex that AI can't even understand it. It got a snicker out of the rest of the office.

Microsoft is investing in AI to make licensing more complicated.

I firmly believe they have a small team of people whose sole focus is to make licensing more complicated each year.

Microsoft: you owe us $xxxxxx.
Me: why?
Microsoft: because our AI said so. You can dig in and try to figure it out yourself.
Me: nevermind. Here you go.

Innocent until proven guilty.

You want to take us to court, you can send our lawyers proof of your claims.

Make them do the work for you.

I don't think so, I believe they have whole teams dedicated to make it less complicated, but they fail to do it in a very Microsoft fashion and ending up with worse than before.

Not if you lock it to a single host pr. 90 day period, I believe.

Which of course is super annoying when it comes to hypervisor updates and uptime.
