Copilot is ‘for entertainment purposes only,’ according to Microsoft’s terms of use

lateforwork: Go to https://copilot.com and ask a question. You can see from the answer that it is clearly for entertainment only. Three years ago Microsoft was considered a leader for having the foresight to invest in OpenAI. Today they are a laggard.

myhf: On the contrary, the first companies to acknowledge the new AI Winter will have a big competitive advantage over those still dumping money into the bottomless pit.

eru: My local ice cream shop has never invested anything in AI. Do you think they'll come out of this ahead?

dwattttt: I've seen the "success" a non-software company has been having, trying to integrate AI into their processes. A hypothetical competitor who chose not to do so would absolutely be coming out ahead right now.I can't say whether this trend would continue, but the answer to your question today is "yes".

debo_: Ice cream tends not to sell well in winter.

SoftTalker: My local ice cream shop doesn't even have a computer in the building. Well, unless you count the credit card terminal.

eru: Alas, no winter in my locality ever.

jeanlucas: which copilot?

rubiquity: All Microsoft services are for entertainment purposes only, as in you’d have to be absolutely crazy enough to use before a Microsoft sales rep has taken your execs to a steakhouse and strip club.

jen20: New York City seems to be a counterexample - gelato and ice cream stores everywhere that seem to do decent trade year-round...
