For those required to use Ai in their job would this count then?

It jus clicked for me why they call it copilot. Hated it since it was announced and even more now. Everybody should be flying solo

You can call it trash can, garbage bin, wheely bin,dumpster, it's all the same, putting lipstick on a pig, it will still be a pig

They really have a massive talent. It's not easy to have such a consistent record in choosing stupid and confusing names, rebranding stuff with no reason.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Between this and what they've done to Windows they're proving daily that you can shit exactly where you eat when you're a tech monopoly.

Fuckin hell, all I wanted was to keep my Skydrive. That's fuckin it. Nothing more.

I cant wait until they integrate Flight simulator

[–] pr0sp3kt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

Copilot simulator, it's has more than one sense...

Surely they wanted to name it Microsoft 365 Copilot Slop, but the CEO was against that.

[–] SomeRandomNoob@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 days ago

The Chief Sloperator striktes again

Honestly the hardest part of “productivity” is keeping up with the product names. 😅 I just hope the rename doesn’t break links/docs and that licensing/features stay crystal clear for users.

Well at least they're being honest about the future of Microsoft.
