Microsoft Copilot

“Dictation (in non English also), good voice control for pretty much all OS features. Text to Speech.”

“it was bound to replace everything that Microsoft touches, by virtue of having its buttons everywhere displacing everything else”

“30-60 minutes of prompting/reviewing/testing the results can save 5-10x that time if not more for teams”

“Copilot.com can do the search, but external links are invalid made-up stuff for harder questions”

“copilot integrates out of the box with teams/outlook/office, so it has great company/work context”

“No, i absolutely never in my life will want Copilot to summarize anything for me and yet guess what button appeared in the UI and i accidentally clicked on last night....”

“Copilot is just one more point where things can go wrong, but it's less scary than your emails being captured and held for ransom”

“It's been pretty good with a Ghidra MCP at signature scanning for extremely niche undocumented software.”

“Microsoft is simultaneously running ads saying Copilot can run your business and claiming it's only for entertainment purposes in the EULA”

“it can treat your organisational SharePoint sites and OneDrive locations as sources, but do so in a manner that respects what you as a user has access to”

“You can't really call something a "Copilot" (implying it's helping you fly the plane) while simultaneously saying it's just for entertainment.”

“whilst it is very expensive per user it has the benefit of having existing contracts in place”

“It's a feature, not a bug. If nobody can pinpoint which instance is crashing, you can't confidently figure out if you need to cancel the $19/mo, the $30/mo, or the $39/mo SKU. Obfuscation as a service.”

“They’ve improved it since the initial launch when the service, model names and plan names all sounded similar and contradictory.”

“If integrated properly, something akin to copilot generating Mac shortcuts, with close supervision, copilot could be extremely powerful on the desktop.”

“The dedicated Copilot button on keyboards and adding Copilot shortcuts all over the OS (and automatic popups/ads) was far too far.”

“it's pretty rare for it to get all 20, but it's sufficiently faster than opening them up in batches of 50”

“Great at finding and discussing docs, conversations, and other work items that it is connected to.”

“Copilot got the official website and GitHub right, but linked to a presumably fake X account as well.”

“Microsoft's product managers however have no imagination, and so they insist on just mindlessly shoving obnoxious Copilot buttons everywhere.”

“Does Copilot spit out useless PR comments. 100% yes! Are there tools that are better than Copilot? 100% yes!”

“Imagine if people forgot how to format a document in Word and they depended on Copilot to do this.”

“Still I have good discussions with Copilot that help me refine character adjustments and such.”

“Copilot is very limited in the boxes Microsoft built into it but it is a great tool for average people”

“yet another push for LLM use similar to Microsoft putting "Copilot" in every single product of theirs?”

“Queue copilot (which is arguably likelty not the ultimate toolchain) which can at least read files it needs etc”

“The other day I got one where the "fact" was an offer to help me pic out the right laptop or tablet to get the most out of copilot.”

“Google, OpenAI, and Microsoft all have a very confusing product naming strategy where it's all lumped under Gemini/ChatGPT/Copilot”

“Copilot in general seems to encourage reality testing and for me to be careful about attributing other people's reactions to my behaviors”

“In some ways I don't mind it in onenote because it actually succeeds in finding stuff the search function doesn't.”

“I had a good conversation with copilot about it and I'm sure I'd get better results with a better prompt”

“copilot is the one provider that is doing a good job of provably NOT training on user data”

“Of course, i have used copilot chat extensively, and since the rollout of deep thinking, it has provided many benefits.”

“My experience is that they (at least copilot) are at least on par, if not better, than self help books.”

“The tech was fantastic to work with, we had an amazing team, and I am proud of what we accomplished.”

“it's nicely integrated with the wider 365 ecosystem and it has saved me a bunch of time on tedious tasks”

“My company, for instance, sent a memo stating we must use Copilot with our corporate accounts for data security.”

“Copilot bridges that gap. If anything, it makes the machine feel more competent because now you can ask for things in natural language”

“It also wanted AI based fact checking, which quickly crumbled once I started asking about hallucinations.”

“every app tries to connect to telemetry or hook into Copilot and stumbles when the bloat is not there”
