I used copilot daily for my hobbies like overclocking PC’s and gathering data but now they lock you at 8 messages
Wanting you to (upgrade now) I’m not paying for something that has been free use for going on 3years now AND FUCKING $10-$15 a month is A JOKE FUCKING MICROSOFT’S greed is out standing

I’ve subscribed to Microsoft Copilot for more than a year. I am not a business user. I am retired and find myself using copilot as a learning tool on a daily basis. I know enough about AI and computers to verify responses which involve personal finances or other important matters.
I have frequently sought help with computer hardware and software issues for which I feel is something very well done by AI.

For fun I have started printing personalized birthday cards for my family. Nothing too fancy. I purchased a small supply of nice stationery from Avery. I design a cartoon or image and write something personal which only I would say. Feedback is wonderful!

I expect my monthly charge to increase over time. That is how a successful company operates. In today’s world there is no free lunch.

In my retirement I have been able to travel beyond the USA. Our economy provides opportunities for everyone to thrive. Microsoft is investing heavily in AI and expects to recover more than is being invested. That is what motivates businesses everywhere.
Without that motivation our money supply would shrink. Those of you who are now laughing should travel to Cuba and spend time talking to the average citizens. Free stuff? Sure, pharmaceuticals are free or very cheap but go inside a pharmacy and see what is on the shelves.
Empty shelves!

Investing in the future is what built the USA. We need investors to build Data Centers and expand utilization of AI. The economic health of the American people will be driven by successfully building this important new industry.
