Microsoft's Warning: Excessive Use of AI Services May Lead to Throttling
Microsoft has updated its terms and conditions to warn users that "excessive" usage of its generative AI services may result in access restrictions. The company did not define what constitutes "excessive use" or provide details on the duration or impact of the restrictions. The move suggests potential bottlenecks in Microsoft's AI architectures, which could degrade performance for users. It may also be a cost-saving measure, as scaling AI infrastructure is expensive. Other AI providers, such as OpenAI, already impose usage restrictions to ensure fair access for all users.
