    So they now have two separate AI chatbots named Copilot now? Obviously GitHub Copilot is focused on coding, but this one seems like it is not. Both are owned by Microsoft. Both are called Copilot. Both are AI chatbots.

      Coming from the Company that brought you “Visual Studio” and “Visual Studio Code” and called the followup of “.NET Framework” just “.NET”. Sometimes I think they want their products to be hard to search.

        Or the Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One X/S, Xbox Series X/S.

        Or Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11.

        Someone at Microsoft just really wants people to know that naming is hard. I am pretty sure they’re intentionally confusing customers so they only know what the current product is.

      I think they do this intentionally because their users are so bad at computers, they will want “copilot” everywhere, and think of it as intellisense (microsofts word for auto completion).

      I’ve seen in corporations that clueless managers even go as far as thinking Microsoft stuff is reliable and trustable and other alternatives are not. Marketing works.
