Since they renamed Microsoft Office to Copilot, they have millions of Copilot users. It’s almost as popular as Google+ when Google made all Gmail users Google+ users.

Hey, Satya. You aren't fooling anyone and you don't have the knack of bald-faced lying like Kristi and Donny.
I used it for my first time this year. For like a week. That was all.
Then you're part of “monthly active Copilot users” - at least for that month
Indeed. Haven't touched it since
Because Slopya has been shoving it down our throats everywhere. Office, Windows, GitHub,...
Lol, no
Copilot: forces an AI summary at the top of every word document, intercepts every copy and paste, is injected in every search result
Stays: People love this shit, they use it all the time!
"The source is that I made it the fuck up!"
Seems to count in 2026.
Well, if you count its uninstall feature, sure.
I'd believe him more if it was opt in and very clearly let folks know.

Maybe he’s counting every time a user copies and pastes anything in Word.
AI executives don't matter
I use it for .net syntax and .net lib references I figure if it's good for anything it's that. I also used it to write a soulless email about communication and accountability I had to send a dev after he just set himself out of office for 4 days and missed his deliverable deadline.

Money for old rope-pilot
Since they renamed M362 to Copilot the usage numbers have been off the chart!
Weren't they just begging us to use their slop machine like a week ago? Now it's being used "a lot"? Sure Jan, lie to pump the stock.
Their stock price dropped 10% last night. Desperation is sinking in.
Absolutely NOT in office/email/whatever. But I must say copilot in vscode is very useful, auto-completion and for small tasks, it can generates code not that bad, just need small mod here and there and that's it.
It's like they need this to be true
To be fair, there are a fair amount of Linux users on Lemmy.as for the millions who’ve never heard of Lemmy? I’m not confident they are not. Especially given the crap we have to clean out of my parent’s computer every couple months.
