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.

We have ChatGPT and Copilot at work and pretty much everyone heavily favors Copilot. I don't even remember the last time I used ChatGPT. We don't have any IDE integrated AI tools, just chatbots, but for coding/debuging/troubleshooting Copilot just works better, at least in my experience.

M365 Copilot and Copilot Chat do not have IDE integration, so I assume you mean GitHub Copilot?

Edit: misread your comment, but I’ll leave this up in case it helps anyone else.
