"At its present state, Copilot has added some capabilities that are genuinely useful in day-to-day workflows. Features like connectors can pull contextual data from services such as Google Contacts, Gmail, and Outlook to retrieve phone numbers or email addresses directly inside Copilot, something competing tools like Gemini have not yet cracked, as we found in our detailed testing."

I sure as Microslop wouldn't trust it with that access.
