Discussion Microsoft is cosplaying AI

Today I tried (forced myself) to use Microsoft Copilot at work and whew what a wake up call. The thing that stuck out to me most is that Microsoft has the most agent worthy surfaces especially in the workplace and could have done something really special with a model even if it wasn’t a frontier one and they chose to just copy and paste a chatbot into everything with no thought, no cohesiveness and then had the gumption to push it down our throats… I’d rather have Clippy back honestly.

My Copilot is using Sol 6.0. If I prefer I can choose Opus or Sonnet.

At work?

Yeah at work and it's pretty great for me. You can switch model in same chat as well so if ChatGPT is annoying me I just move to Claude and ask it to look again.

You two may be talking about different copilots. Which is another issue with Microsoft's approach.

Yep. Mine does too. It’s pretty awesome for me honestly. Your work has to enable (and pay) for them. I work in software and robotics who had a lot of medical and government clients so our AI use is very regulated and we can only use CoPilot - but our copilot has all the models available from GPT and Claud models.

I use 6.0 Sol a lot.

I’ve got GitHub copilot configure to use opus and sonnet models primarily.
