I genuinely think AI is useful for about 2% more adoption of things than was going on before. 2% more coders, 2% more artists (for whatever that’s worth which isn’t a lot), just 2%.

5%? Dont tell Linux desktop
That's because out of all the slop canons, it's the only one that just doesnt work
What's even behind it? I always assumed openAI given the early investment deal. Is Microsoft an AI vendor with their own frontier models?!
The thing with Copilot is... it's pretty useless. I mean, i am pro AI, i use Mistral daily for various tasks and toyed with others like ChatGPT and Grok, but Copilot is surely the least capable of the big models.
Second upvoted person in this /c/technology thread who thinks Copilot is a model and not an interface to several other models and literally naming models you can use in Copilot.
I don't know if ignorance of the technology you're commenting on is considered a plus only if it's AI.
It’s more about the harness. Copilots harness is worse than all of the others.
Even trying the same model that copilot uses, copilot is worse. That includes all of the 6 or 7 different MS Copilots I’ve used.
Ditto. I use Codex and Claude Code on a daily basis. Copilot feel like it's from the 80s, a few generations behind
Microsoft CoPilot 365 is not GitHub Copilot. I'll give you a pass on Microsoft's incredibly bad naming policies.
Just "upgraded" to win11. The first thing I did was uninstall 365 and copilot. As long as I draw breath I will never use the crap.
O and one drive... Never.
Be prepared to remove it many times in the future. They basically turn it on every time you update, and at some point they will remove the option to even do that and make it mandatory.
Yes. I've heard of this. I'm not happy about the upgrade. I only need windows for gaming otherwise I'd be on Linux.
I'm sure it's not counting those of us using the free version that comes with Windows.
