I mean, is a quick search for "microsoft AI" or "famous AI failures" really too much to ask from these richly-compensated engineers?



Put yourself in the position of a richly-compensated engineer.

Your boss: "We need to launch this, or our division is shut down."

Your web search: Famous AI failure

You would like to stay richly compensated. What do you do?

This is one scenario, and waaay oversimplified, but the way you get richly-compensated is by doing what's required to be richly-compensated. That usually has more to do with corporate politics than long-term corporate outcomes.
