Fewer than 4.5% of Microsoft 365 customers pay for Copilot after three years, only 1% use it weekly, and Microsoft raised prices regardless.

The thing with Copilot is... it's pretty useless. I mean, i am pro AI, i use Mistral daily for various tasks and toyed with others like ChatGPT and Grok, but Copilot is surely the least capable of the big models.

Second upvoted person in this /c/technology thread who thinks Copilot is a model and not an interface to several other models and literally naming models you can use in Copilot.

I don't know if ignorance of the technology you're commenting on is considered a plus only if it's AI.

Ditto. I use Codex and Claude Code on a daily basis. Copilot feel like it's from the 80s, a few generations behind

Microsoft CoPilot 365 is not GitHub Copilot. I'll give you a pass on Microsoft's incredibly bad naming policies.
