They should invest a couple billion in it, rename it and cancel afterwards.

No, M$. The whole Windows Phone 7 Series or whatever it was called at some point saga

First big tech slapped "powered by AI!" on everything and now - a mere 2 years later - it has been exposed as nothing but a safety risk without a tangible benefit, they're trying their best to hide it's mere existence while still dumping it into everything. They just can't help it.
