Plenty of copilots, but clearly no competent captain anywhere to steer the ship at Microsoft.
Probably not WhatsApp, because Meta have already stuffed their own AI there.
Every product with users is now a merely channel for shoving the vendor's AI down the user's throats.
Someone already made a Clippy AI Assistant as kind of a joke I think. :) https://github.com/FireCubeStudios/Clippy
My favourite thing about the "Copilot" branding is that Microsoft had to rename their existing Xbox feature named "Copilot": https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-profile/accessib...
Obviously so no one confuses their slop generator (which they want everyone to know about) with a (probably, I don't have an Xbox) useful feature.
