    Why Microsoft is so obsessed with the word “copilot”? There’s like 4 different things with the same name.

      Microsoft will definitely have the power to bulldoze all other things named copilot, like Facebook did to meta. I’m still not over AI being a lame word now. I miss the time when it felt sci-fi and not like a corporate buzzword.

        William Gibson made the metaverse, fuck FB for stealing that cool name for a 3D world and then botchering it so hard it will never ever even be a thing lol. I mean how hard can it be with those kind of budgets they have. Smh.

    my favorite feature of copilot is that on top of being extremely stupid, it’s very easily offended. literally the only thing they made sure it would consistently get right is being fucking touchy.

    I used copilot like four times to test what it can do. it is so fucking bad. every “conversation” inevitably ends with me saying “you’re useless” and copilot getting offended and immediately ending the conversation with a passive aggressive message basically implying “I’m done with this. you can try again if you’re gonna be nicer next time”

    lol fucking dumb useless piece of code, can’t even ask it the simplest questions without it spitting some absolute nonsense, but also can’t take shit because it’s too precious and self respecting. fuck you, Microsoft.

    What does the Key on its own do, what character does it send? Is it something standard or is it something custom?

      standard, surprisingly enough, it’s essentially just a shortcut to the key combination ctrl+shift+f23. guess microsoft figured they couldn’t leave all the extra F keys unattended

      Probably Ctrl + shift + win + alt + C, or something like that. The same modifiers + first letter of the program work for other services like word and linkedin

    why even make it in the first place? just use a keyboard shortcut or something.
