Copilot is brainrot and its killing microsoft.

Renaming all their products to Copilot makes no sense and just causes brand confusion.

Copilot getting access to your entire 365/azure tenant is just a security nightmare waiting to happen (in fact theres already that one published and presumably patched vuln)

It has so many shackles on that its functionally useless. Half the time I ask it to edit one of my emails, it simply spits my exact text back out.

Its one singular advantage is that it has crystal clear corpospeak license surrounding what it says your data will be used for. Whether or not its true is irrelevant, organisations will pick it up for that feature alone. No one ever got fired for choosing ibm etc.

Classic big vendor play: it's not about being good, it's about being safe to buy

You will need way more to kill Microsoft. Brand confusion has been in the Microsoft DNA since the very beginning

This reminds me of IBM Watson back in the day
