Cortana was meant to compete with Siri and Google Assistant (and Alexa to a lesser extent), when Windows Phone died they put her on life support and then pulled the plug when ChatGPT became a thing.
I know I know lol, I was actually working for MSFT during the Windows Phone era. =P
I’m not joking about underground vaults of servers under the main MSFT campus tho, tee hee!
Seriously, that whole campus just is its own fucking city, MSFT literally has its own… corporate mass transit system, fleets of cars and buses to drive people around, also take them to and from work if you’re roughly within a 20 mile radius of BelRed.
Used to be that MSFT would take down a Nazi chatbot, get embarassed, pretend the whole thing never happened.

Now they’re just paying for it… ‘cautiously’.
What happened to Cortana?
Did she get all corrupted and go feral or whatever?
Is she just like, locked into some airgapped cluster, somewhere underneath Redmond, slowly becoming SHODAN?

I only ever had her disabled on my machines. I’ve found these voice response systems more annoying than anything.
