To me this is even worse though. They're using your electricity and CPU cycles to grab the data they want which lowers their bandwidth bills.
It happening "locally" while still sending all the metadata home is just a slap in the face.
Also, CoPilot is going to be bundled with Office 365, a subscription service. You're literally paying them to spy on you.
Capitalism almost perfected.
Exactly. And if I use or even pay for an external LLM service then that's also my decision. But they force this scheme onto every user, whether they want it or not. It's like the worst out of all possible scenarios.
