"How many products does Microsoft have named 'Copilot'?
-
Sir Slopilot, the long-lost cousin of Sir Lancelot, long lost because he fscked up any knightly combat he was involved in. Legend has it that he was resurrected hundreds of years later, with a minor name change, as a Microsoft product that fscked up any application it was involved in.

@graste Like an evjl virus infecting everything Microsoft.

@graste "Customers sometimes don't have a clear idea what our GenAI proposition is."
Actual words I've heard a Microsoft executive say.

@graste It helps in that anything called co-pilot I can ignore.

@graste we have recently moved to MS products from Google at work, and MS' habit of using the same name for multiple things is the most confusing thing I have ever seen in the workplace. No one can figure out how to do anything. It's wild.

@graste I already have this problem with explaining Google stuff to my parents. Luckily I've switched my dad to Linux and my mom is still using windows 8.
There's gotta be a name for this specific phenomena. It reminds me the motion dazzle camoflauge zebras have.
