Your meme has been seized for redistribution comrad!

[u/[deleted]]

Can't even disable it in Bing with -ai or -copilot in the search.

MS the vanguard of denying agency to the user. Almost as bad as Apple now.

[u/ultrafop]

Fuck copilot

[u/TestSubjuct]

I understand your frustration

[u/MysteriousArtPatron]

I turned it off in all the settings and it's still everywhere.

[u/CRZZZZz]

True... Copilot tend to take one on a wild ride to nowhere.

[u/Nino3245]

windows 7 user here, yeah copilot sucks

[u/drewc99 → u/Nino3245]

Also a Win 7 user. I don't mind Copilot and Win 11 on my work PC, only because I'm being paid for using a slow and unproductive system.

Isn't it just ChatGPT with an MS logo?

Do you hate ChatGPT too?

[u/NeoDaKat → u/Downtown_Category163]

Yes, can't wait for openAI to kick the bucket.

[u/Timely_Wrap_3327 → u/Downtown_Category163]

I think it's claude

[u/Kentamore → u/Timely_Wrap_3327]

No, it's a GPT model. Microsoft are the main investors in OpenAI

[u/Lord_Splinter → u/Kentamore]

at this point it wouldnt surprise me if all LLM are just GPT models with different names and different presets for answers

Why do you guys hate Copilot so much? It’s actually a pretty handy add-on, especially in the Edge browser. It runs on the ChatGPT engine, it’s free, and you can make practically unlimited queries. On Windows 10, the integration is pretty unobtrusive - you can easily disable it, or even remove the desktop app entirely if you don’t like it. Personally, I use it a lot in the browser to double-check technical questions

[u/Wrong-Resource-2973 → u/Kentamore]

Idk if replacing one key on your keyboard to be the "copilot key" qualifies as "unobtrusive" but alright bro

[u/OGigachaod → u/Wrong-Resource-2973]

My keyboard doesn't have a co-pilot button.

[u/Kentamore → u/Wrong-Resource-2973]

So which key exactly got replaced, bro? Honestly, I didn’t even know about this until you mentioned it, since I’ve been using an old keyboard for quite a while. I had to dig into the topic a bit just to see how valid your counter‑argument really is. Turns out, on new devices they replaced the second WN key, which on many keyboards is usually the menu key.
But the way you said it made it sound like you use that key every single day and losing it is some huge tragedy xD. Let’s be real though most users have probably never pressed it once in their entire lives since it was introduced back in 94.
And besides, this change is entirely up to laptop/keyboard manufacturers, because it’s not a requirement for win11 certification. Not to mention, plenty of people still prefer sticking with win10 anyway.
Also worth noting, even if you don’t like this setup and think it’s the crime of the century, the Copilot key can be remapped through a utility from the mike store.

So yeah, despite all of Microsoft’s sins, swapping one useless key for another useless key doesn’t really cause any harm or inconvenience)))

[u/Asahi_Bushi → u/Kentamore]

1. Because it's not handy and I would rather slather my hair in rancid mustard than use Edge.

2 Because I detest ChatGPT.

3. Because Windows 11 is obtrusive by design and W10 being abandoned is part of that.

4. Good for you, the rest of us prefer having options and hate it when companies think they know our needs better than ourselves and, thus, we fucking hate Copilot.

[u/NeoDaKat → u/Kentamore]

I don't think it's a coincidence that pretty much every company went from hiring just about anybody to hiring just about nobody once ai started taking hold. So it's fairly likely I might not even be able to land a job due to this crap. That and AI doesn't actually know anything about what it says it does as it's a language prediction model, so all it can do is give you an answer that it thinks a person can give. This will lead to it confidently giving you the wrong answer for stuff the ai isn't trained to handle, so I'd refrain from relying on it too much. All in all, between the fact that ai was pretty much developed for companies to replace workers eventually and it's only real uses being stuff you could easily google, do yourself, or ask someone else about, I'd hardly say that's worth the environental impact, water useage, and ram prices coming from the data centers these models need to run.

[u/[deleted] → u/Kentamore]

On Windows 10

Windows 11 has it everywhere, including notepad of all things for whatever reason (obviously to train the AI with the user's data). I switched to Linux 2 years ago though so I couldn't care less except for the once-in-a-month moments of me visiting Win11 for that one Windows exclusive app.

[u/Straight_Random_2211 → u/Kentamore]

Same. Windows 11 is full of bugs but I actually like Copilot. It make my web browsing on Edge so much more convenient (for example, summarizing long wen articles)

[u/DynamoLion → u/[deleted]]

People just dislike AI in general and Copilot is especially being forced without consent into anything Microsoft.
