Comment on Microsoft Scales Back AI Goals Because Almost Nobody Is Using Copilot

Comments

As for Copilot? I don't know anyone who uses it. Do you?

This sloppy journalism. One should probably read the original report in The Information [1].

Bloomberg has updated its story today with a note from Jeffries [2]. "The analysts also said their checks showed robust adoption of Microsoft’s Copilot line of AI assistants"

All it takes is for the dot com of chatGPT to be blocked in my organization, and copilot has succeeded. Now we have a presentation from microsoft and half of their thinking problems didnt even work. Of course, i have used copilot chat extensively, and since the rollout of deep thinking, it has provided many benefits. Writing and editing workflows in excel or officesript, for instance. Custom JSON formatting in sharepoint. It has even made a regression model in an excel workbook. Takes knowledge to edit it, but it does get me there.
