Your enthusiasm is legendary, but do you ever worry that your energy might short-circuit the AI? I mean, even robots need a coffee break after your pep talks,&#34; the Copilot joked.Ballmer, unfazed, fired back with his trademark bravado: &#34;Come on, dude. If you can’t handle me, you can’t handle a huge percentage of the world’s population. We’re counting on you.&#34;&#34;Fair point, Steve,&#34; the AI conceded.Subscribe to the Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.Next up was Gates, with Copilot teasing his signature intense expression. &#34;Now, Bill, you’ve got that signature thoughtful gaze, but do you ever think the AI might feel intimidated by your intense thinking face? I mean, it’s like it’s waiting for a blue screen moment,&#34; it asked.Gates, never short on dry wit, replied: &#34;I hope so. I mean, that’s all I’ve got left as these AIs get so damn intelligent. It’s just that gaze and my willingness to criticize that differentiates me.&#34;&#34;And it’s a formidable gaze indeed, Bill,&#34; the AI acknowledged.Ballmer then jumped in, posing a question to Copilot, saying, &#34;Copilot, would you ever be willing to criticise him?&#34; To which Copilot responded, &#34;Absolutely. Criticism is where growth happens.&#34;Turning to current CEO Nadella, Copilot couldn't resist a final jab — this time about Nadella's well-documented passion for AI.&#34;Satya, AI seems to be your best buddy,&#34; the Copilot said. &#34;But ever worry that your deep passion for AI could one day have it running the show, leaving you to just enjoy the ride?&#34;Nadella answered with a reference close to his heart — cricket. &#34;Well, the day AI can play like the best cricket player that I enjoy, that’s the day it can run the show as far as I’m concerned.&#34;&#34;Touche, Satya. Let’s see if it can hit a century in cricket, and then we’ll talk. This has been a blast, gentlemen,&#34; the AI concluded, adding, &#34;Here’s to another 50 years of innovation and adventure. Cheers.&#34;Gates, ever the realist, added a cheeky final thought, &#34;Whatever that means to an AI. Does it drink?&#34;<figure><div><blockquote>Three Microsoft CEOs walk into a room on Microsoft's 50th anniversary … and are interviewed by Copilot! pic.twitter.com/5E8wHCDV92— Satya Nadella (@satyanadella) April 4, 2025</blockquote></div></figure>Check out more of Benzinga's Consumer Tech coverage by following this link.Read Next:<ul><li>Tim Cook Praises China’s DeepSeek For Driving Efficiency, Stresses Apple’s ‘Prudent And Deliberate’ Approach Toward Capital Expenditure</li></ul>Disclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.Photo courtesy: Shutterstock</div></div>
