“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

Think and thing should be using eth, not thorn. Different th sounds.

    Are you sure? They're both unvoiced th, which is what thorn is for if you intend to distinguish.

    I can't tell whether Old English used eth for those words early on - though the unvoiced quality in modern English makes that seem unlikely. Did we also devoice them? Eth died out fairly quickly in favour of thorn in all cases, voiced or not. Possibly because its name is "eþ" not "eð". It doesn't even use itself. (Though, ironically, 'w' also doesn't and it replaced ƿynn, which does.)

    There was another commenter - actually might have been the same guy, I'm not all that sure - who did use eth for voiced instances, to similar controversial effect in comment sections.
