Seems to count in 2026.
I use the office apps for college and I avoid the AI, its annoying, it pops up and im usually saying " wtf is this" no i need a blank document
Because Slopya has been shoving it down our throats everywhere. Office, Windows, GitHub,...
I'd believe him more if it was opt in and very clearly let folks know.

Weren't they just begging us to use their slop machine like a week ago? Now it's being used "a lot"? Sure Jan, lie to pump the stock.
Their stock price dropped 10% last night. Desperation is sinking in.
I use it for .net syntax and .net lib references I figure if it's good for anything it's that. I also used it to write a soulless email about communication and accountability I had to send a dev after he just set himself out of office for 4 days and missed his deliverable deadline.
It still hallucinates MSSQL functions, so I wouldn’t assume it will be great at .Net
It's like they need this to be true
Well, if you count its uninstall feature, sure.
To be fair, there are a fair amount of Linux users on Lemmy.as for the millions who’ve never heard of Lemmy? I’m not confident they are not. Especially given the crap we have to clean out of my parent’s computer every couple months.
I used it for my first time this year. For like a week. That was all.
Then you're part of “monthly active Copilot users” - at least for that month
Indeed. Haven't touched it since
Absolutely NOT in office/email/whatever. But I must say copilot in vscode is very useful, auto-completion and for small tasks, it can generates code not that bad, just need small mod here and there and that's it.
Since they renamed M362 to Copilot the usage numbers have been off the chart!
never did, never will ✨
of course they are, slop boy.
They really try and push it at work
I'd love to see the numbers for computers with it immediately uninstalled.
AI executives don't matter
That sounds expensive. Is it making money?
It's being used at my work a lot, but I'm guessing it's mostly used as a Google replacement or an auto-complete tool. I know very few people that will generate the majority of their code with AI.
Money for old rope-pilot
Maybe he’s counting every time a user copies and pastes anything in Word.
