Article - The copilots that Microsoft has created are undeniably impressive, and I believe that they represent the sort of technological change that only comes along once in a generation.

Many have expressed concern about Copilot putting people out of work or causing other economic harm. While such fears may ultimately prove to be warranted, I believe that there is another potential problem associated with using Copilot that nobody is talking about yet. This is the problem of overreliance.

I absolutely love using copilot as my initial search method. It's not a guru, and you can't take it on its word. It's a fancy search engine and thats it to me. If you want good information you still have to do leg work to qualify it as such.

copilot is just horrendously bad. it actually makes me less productive. Microsoft's innate ability to completly fuck up AI is honestly remarkable.
