#12i wasn't aware there was a free tier of Copilot, from reading the article it sounds like an entirely different product than Github Copilot, right?
Yes, totally different. If you use windows, there’s a pane in their Edge browser that opens up an AI chat window. You can use it for most of the things you get with paid OpenAI subscription, but it’s free for every windows user. They call it Copilot.
Not only on windows. You can use it on Edge for Mac.

#13Is this the same as the Copilot that is in VSCode via the Extensions? It's possibly confusing, or just very simple. I'm not sure :-D
I believe Microsoft reused the Copilot brand that it acquired from GitHub for its AI assistant which is embedded in Windows, Bing, and apparently now Office. GitHub Copilot also still exists but is a different product.

Microsoft it currently renaming all chatbots and direct LLM-backed applications "copilots". It makes it very difficult to navigate their offerings.
But I think it is kinda similar to how OpenAI is trying to call everything backed by their models a "GPT"

Yes. "Copilot" is just chatbot, now. The copilot that helps you code is now called "Github Copilot". I guess Microsoft couldn't leave a good name alone.

There is also a Copilot app that you can use from your phone.

#19Get users hooked with free access. Wait few years. Start having lawyers tweak terms of service. Charge corporate customers a shit ton of money as free users sell their junk. Yank “free” tier, with none to minimal notice due to ToS. Cite limited resource constraint. Stick previously free users with $99/month access.
MSFT stock pumps hard for the next few years.

#20Given the ongoing issues with ChatGPT (slow and _incredibly_ lazy) and all the copilot nonsense, as well as my growing aversion of how MS are muscling in on this space, I’m about to make a wholesale switch to Claude for my API and chat access
