This sloppy journalism. One should probably read the original report in The Information [1].
Bloomberg has updated its story today with a note from Jeffries [2]. "The analysts also said their checks showed robust adoption of Microsoft’s Copilot line of AI assistants"

#13The title here should be Almost Nobody, Including Microsoft QA, is using Copilot. I tried to use Copilot to create a PowerPoint presentation from a Word document. The output was complete trash. Bullet points were out of alignment, and several things just went off-screen. Re-prompting to try and correct the slides did nothing but create more trash.
Since customers carry out QA, the title is correct.

All it takes is for the dot com of chatGPT to be blocked in my organization, and copilot has succeeded. Now we have a presentation from microsoft and half of their thinking problems didnt even work. Of course, i have used copilot chat extensively, and since the rollout of deep thinking, it has provided many benefits. Writing and editing workflows in excel or officesript, for instance. Custom JSON formatting in sharepoint. It has even made a regression model in an excel workbook. Takes knowledge to edit it, but it does get me there.

#15I use the employer paid enterprise versions. Works well…which you’d hope for the fancy version
The normal consumer accessible one in contrast routinely gives me broken incomplete output
Idk MS you’re not gonna win with a chatbot that doesn’t chat complete stuff

This all reminds me of Bing. It already lost the technology race, but it serves MS's own interests to keep it around, apparently.

It's a service they sell to eg DuckDuckGo and ecosia. I think the og bing is just there because they still think Google may fall out of favour one day. Oh and they offer a corp version spiced up with internal results from SharePoint.

#18I’ve only used the version that comes with Office 365, but oh boy is it terrible.

I think they also make money from people that don't know the difference and use it because, for instance, it's the default in Edge when you search from the URL bar.
