I have not met one person who likes CoPilot. Hundreds of billions spent just to make something worse.
Objectively true, but also who the fuck writes it in PascalCase?
@anon_opin I know people putting it to good use in specialized scenarios, but they wouldn't recommend it as a product.
@anon_opin Hmm, clearly I must be the only one who likes a Copilot of some form. In this particular case, at least for coding, I use Visual Studio Code and GitHub Copilot. That has been very good, depending on the agent I'm using for it.
@ChrisDuffley @anon_opin yeah, I figure people mean different things because Microslop have smacked the Copilot label on everything. I also use it as the harness in VSCode with the Claude models and performs fine 🤷‍♂️
@liamo @anon_opin OF course it's not perfect but still yes I agree...

@anon_opin Are we talking about MS Copilot, or GitHub Copilot?

I think I may have met at least one person who enjoys the later.

Bot sure why the same owner though it was the smart move to name two of their products exactly the same.

@jordgubben @anon_opin

It worked so well with "Explorer" and "Exchange" that they decided to do it again. Either several products have the same name or one product has several names (who knows what Office is called this week? How do the various names tell you anything about the important differences between variants?).

#Microsoft's marketing department is psychopathic.

@anon_opin

Copilot's main function when I have to use Windows is to make me wary of clicking anything I don't recognise in case it launches #Copilot.

@CppGuy @anon_opin One Drive's one purpose is to open a folder randomly 5 minutes after booting, rudely interrupting me and reminding me to quit One Drive.

@chrisp @anon_opin

That, and to soak up all outgoing bandwidth for several minutes after boot.

@anon_opin have a chat with your employer’s senior management and executive teams.
@RaineyDay @anon_opin I use copilot on a regular basis and love it, its honestly pretty great, I use it for a lot of things actually.
@anon_opin
Who pays the price of all those billions spent?
