Sorry about that -- I think the article presents a correct analysis of conversational computing but kind of oversells the novelty of copilot, by missing the ways older tech like autocomplete are also conversational. So it's less a change in quality than a change in quantity (that said, a change in quantity can produce a change in quality -- see [1]). You might use autocomplete when you know what you want it to complete, but I also often find myself using it to look at the properties of an object, see what variables are in scope, "probe" the type of different variables, etc. -- all exploratory, all dialogues.
