Copilot means so many things now it doesn't even tell you anything about they do.

It was explained to me that the word "Copilot" is just Microsoft's brand for what the rest of us call "AI" - just like "365" means "online", "Azure" means "cloud", "Entra" means "login" and ".NET" used to mean "with a computer". So when you see something like "Azure Copilot 365" you can pretend they wrote, fully generically, "Online Cloud AI". If you see a button labelled "Copilot" you understand it would've said "AI" if they were any other company.

  Microsoft also apparently "rebranded Office to Microsoft 365 in 2022"[0], causing a lot of confusion about what "Microsoft 365 Copilot" on their homepage meant, but I think it would translate to "Cloud Office Suite + Cloud AI" [0]: https://www.theverge.com/tech/856149/microsoft-365-office-rebrand-copilot https://www.theverge.com/tech/856149/microsoft-365-office-re...

    Microsoft 365 means Microsoft Online, according to the translator. And it makes sense: they are positioning Office as their core product, not just one of many products. They are renaming Microsoft Office to just Microsoft; this is the online version (which happens to be the only version); and it has AI, which they are prominently showcasing. Hence, Microsoft 365 Copilot. It means "Microsoft Online, now with AI" Of course, all of this is completely retarded.

        wtf is this nonsense? Compared to the OP I personally think you are the one who needs help, or at least stop consuming media from whatever sources you are consuming right now,

        Your performative temper tantrum is also a classic MAGA shibboleth. Now we all know where you stand, and that you want everyone to know too. Asking people not to denigrate others is just beyond the pale for you. By all means, direct your anger, hostility, and name-calling at me instead of people with disabilities. Would calling me the f-word make you feel better?
