Strange, I thought that paying more and more to get, in most cases, less and less was a good business move.

What's even behind it? I always assumed openAI given the early investment deal. Is Microsoft an AI vendor with their own frontier models?!
I genuinely think AI is useful for about 2% more adoption of things than was going on before. 2% more coders, 2% more artists (for whatever that’s worth which isn’t a lot), just 2%.
The thing with Copilot is... it's pretty useless. I mean, i am pro AI, i use Mistral daily for various tasks and toyed with others like ChatGPT and Grok, but Copilot is surely the least capable of the big models.
Second upvoted person in this /c/technology thread who thinks Copilot is a model and not an interface to several other models and literally naming models you can use in Copilot.
I don't know if ignorance of the technology you're commenting on is considered a plus only if it's AI.
Ditto. I use Codex and Claude Code on a daily basis. Copilot feel like it's from the 80s, a few generations behind
Microsoft CoPilot 365 is not GitHub Copilot. I'll give you a pass on Microsoft's incredibly bad naming policies.
