Microsoft's Copilot: A Frustrating Flop in AI-Powered Productivity
Microsoft's Copilot was supposed to be the game-changer in productivity, but it's quickly proving to be a massive disappointment. The idea was simple: integrate AI directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoi...
Copilot or drunken passenger?
----------------------------------
I've been reading this thread with interest - seems like Copilot isn't winning many fans yet!
What puzzles me most is that despite using OpenAI's models, Copilot seems to reason far worse than ChatGPT. Why the huge difference? Unfortunately, my workplace has locked down access to most AI services except Copilot 🙄.
Pro tip from another user:
-----------------------------
One of you mentioned that the sidebar version in Edge works better than the main one. Has anyone found other workarounds that actually make Copilot more useful?
For personal projects, I've been using ChatGPT which was fantastic until recently, especially after they added image creation. But now it's getting ridiculous - it refuses to create simple visuals like work outfits, claiming they breach content policy because they ‘could be mistaken for a real person’ 🙄 Even when I specifically ask for it on a tailor’s mannequin!
Makes me wonder if OpenAI is throttling the free tier now that they've collected massive amounts of training data from us. Classic bait and switch?
Since Claude doesn't create images yet (though it's much better at reasoning and conversation!), where are people going for actually helpful AI tools? Anyone found good alternatives that don't have these frustrating limitations?
