I just tried the Windows CoPilot demo that seems to be part of Windows 10 now ... I get 30 free uses by the looks of it - here is my prompt: "make a picture of an american muscle car driving towards the camera with a wide angle showing police cars in pursuit. The style should be neo tokyo and the muscle car should be black with dark windows. The buildings should be tall and there should be a low sun in the background highlighting everything", and here are the results :) #tokyo#copilot
"I'm sorry for talking so much to you the A.I. But I'm reflecting on todays work, and I like to express it, and I've great conversations with you. But now I'll stop, so you can use your server resources for other people's questions more effectively! Thank you for listening."
I've been playing with both #ChatGPT and #Copilot for a little while, and I think I might be the first person on the whole internet to have written a blog post about it!
It seems to me that the main problem with #ChatGPT and other #LLMs is context. Each new conversation with them is a clean slate and the longer a conversation goes on the slower and more confused they seem to get. I presume taking the context into account means extra processing time, and storage on their part, but moreover they just don't provide a very good interface for communicating with the #AI about a long-lived project. This is critical for #softwareDevelopment.
This month, I’ve attended four hour-long webinars on Copilot and other LLM-based technologies and their potential knowledge-work applications, and it is v-e-r-y telling that not a single one has shown a single actual demo of an actual application.
Not a single response to a single prompt.
Not even a pre-recorded snippet that they were certain didn’t go wrong.
Pushing products on people that do not want them is not a good thing.
Luckily the EU has made it possible to remove Edge and Onedrive. I hope they will add Copilot soon.
IMHO there should be a clear line between what is on the computer and what is on the cloud, unless I opt-in otherwise for things like backup.
Similarly there should be a clear line when it comes to #AI. It must be clear when my data is local and when it is used for AI. What I do locally on my computer should not feed AI.

"Microsoft is asking investors to "temper" expectations for quick financial returns from Copilot amid efforts to convince customers that paying "substantial" sums each month is actually worth it. After trialing the use of Microsoft's GenAI in their workflow, testers told the Wall Street Journal that they had mixed feelings about it, saying it was useful but maybe didn't yet justify the price tag."
Perhaps--and hear me out--just perhaps it was a bad idea to name everything #copilot and charge for every version of that copilot separately. Enterprises do know when they're being scammed and so do individual users.
I mean $30 per user per month on top of already exorbitent pricing for enterprise licenses and then charging for security per user or for additional copilots. I realize training and running #LLMs and other #GenAI services is expensive; they should have considered this before hand.
I am currently the only individual in my organization who has a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.
In other words, I am the pilot for the Copilot pilot program.
So far, I have not seen any set-the-world-on-fire (metaphorically) capabilities for this set-the-world-on-fire (literally) technology. Having Copilot summarize long email threads is pretty good. But its much-touted ability to synthesize data from across the Microsoft tenant is, so far, not impressive.
This release of #visualstudio brings additional tools to help you improve your code reviews with #copilot, diagnostics improvements, as well as additional Extensibility and WinForms enhancements.
