Maybe having 81 different things called Copilot does not help if you want to get taken seriously

Show me the incentiveslop and I'll show you the outcomeslop.

Can't speak to that one, but Studio Copilot.net Ultimate Home Professional Visual Edition 365# Server 95 was one of the best pieces of software I've ever used.
Funny thing is that this is coming from human slop.
Like most things Microsoft, "gave up after six months" is accurate.
Microsoft should now release a brand new UI framework, this time designed and implemented end-to-end by AI:
Microsoft Visualization Copilot
If there's anyone from Microsoft here, let your bosses know I'll accept a Chief Prompting Officer role to help get it (and much more) out of the door.
Maybe if they didn't have a toddler CEO that's completely asleep at the wheel they would have prevented losing in the court of public opinion.
Their execution is improving, but their models aren't as good as Anthropic or Open Ai
Can't ban the truth, heh?
Micro$oft should stick to worrying about Windoze
Ah, I see you’re a person of culture as well.
Not really relevant though. They sure should be serious about GitHub, npm, and plenty of other things they run, too.
They went AI too hard too soon. It only truly started being usable for dev this year.
