Copilot is for entertainment purposes only. It can make mistakes, and it may not work as intended. Don’t rely on Copilot for important advice. Use Copilot at your own risk says Microsoft TOS. Also it says we can’t promise that any Copilot’s Responses won’t infringe someone else’s rights (like their copyrights, trademarks, or rights of privacy) or defame them https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot/for-individuals/termsofuse

Then why the fuck are you pushing this bullshit on everyone? 🤡

Copilot - Terms of Use

Microsoft Copilot

@nixCraft Because they've 'invested' billions of dollars of the stockholders' money, and Microsoft has to show a return for that investment. Nothing else matters to the company. We are second, even third, last in its considerations.

@archivescribe @nixCraft correct, legally speaking Microsoft’s primary duty is to the shareholders, by law

@archivescribe @nixCraft this is how all companies operate, their duty is to the shareholders not the customers

Microsoft is pretty sure most people won’t stop using Windows, and they’re probably right sadly 🫩

@nixCraft Enterprise customers would question why they're paying through the teeth for "Entertainment Purposes Only."

Microsoft and Google may have to surrender people's data to Saudi Arabia after signing huge deals there

Saudi Arabia is seeking to be an innovation hub, but activists are warning that tech firms could be complicit in the repression of dissidents.

@nixCraft because they are scraping your data. Learning about who you are via every ham handed prompt and query you enter into the box.

@nixCraft I was curious to see whether I could see this terms of use on the Copilot installed on my work device. It seems like no -- the "entertainment use only" warning is with Microsoft Copilot, which is the free personal use version. Whereas the paid M365 Copilot (for business) doesn't come with the same disclaimer.

@PapyrusBrigade That's a shame. I was going to look it up too, to send it to our IT people, who happily keep pushing it - at a university, no less. You'd think we value knowledge and know a thing or two about the acquisition of good knowledge...
Also: How can they not mention it in the 365 version? It turns out equally crappy slop, especially when used by untrained employees.

@kmmich Yes, I was thinking the same. On both points.
