Should I use Microsoft Copilot? (lemmus.org)

I have been using Micorsoft Bing for a few weeks and using the Rewards program and I'm still debating on whether or not I should be using their new digital assistant Copilot assuming it won't replace everything else.

I am enjoying Microsoft products more but wonder about Copilot when I already dabbled with ChatGPT and OpenAI and also reading up on the subject and asking my family whether it will be detrimental or not to me.

I also use Microsoft Windows for the games you can only find on Steam (Injustice, The Sims 3) which is why I chose to use more Microsoft stuff.

What does everyone think?

My experience with AI is it sucks and never gives the right answer, so no, good ol' regular web search for me.

When half your searches only gives you like 2-3 pages of result on Google, AI doesn't have nearly enough training material to be any good.

I think I've mostly moved to Kagi, because someone needs to be incentiviced to actually focus on search, not ads. That said it's also good bang for buck in annual ultimate because you get access to multiple AI models.

That said, I so far continue to be mostly underwhelmed by AI except for basic starting points on scripts or for games like D&D.
