Microsoft copilot is absolutely worthless
It has actually been useful for walking me through setting up complex Excel spreadsheets and helping to interface with Google Applications, but I prefer Gemini or Grok for most AI Functions. Gemini has been very useful for my pure research functions (like having an assistant to do the manual referencing etc.) But I don’t trust it for pure advice. And I always check the references.
It is not completely useless. I have used it to generate code in OpenSCAD for geometric models. That being said, it can and does make mistakes. I had to suffer with it for it’s belief that trig functions required arguments in radians, when in fact it was in degrees. Once I quoted the user manual, it finally agreed, but made no apology.
My work paid for laptop bricked itself during an automated software update.
MS is in real trouble on W11
No, no, it is great.
Like your neighbor putting a “Gun free zone” on his front lawn. It draws the burglars, away from you.
Anyone who still has Copilot on their PC (since it is easy to remove) will draw the hackers — and leave me alone.
