Didn't they already do this? I thought I remember after a Windows 11 update a couple of months ago I had that copilot shit on the taskbar and auto-enabled.

I'm in the insider program (been too lazy to reset my computer and leave it) and for a while it would auto launch with the sidebar open for a bit. I had to close the copilot sidebar every time I booted my computer. They have since removed that "feature"
Not a fan of it being forced upon anyone but I'll add lately that I've been using it to spit out Python scripts and ansible playbooks to stunning efficiency that makes my life much easier.
I tried Bard last year and it sucked, maybe Gemini is better now. I could see myself paying for one of these eventually, given how much more free time I have with the kids (or at the bar!).
Try phind.com, it's got an insanely advanced model trained on a ton of their own proprietary code, and free too (or paid with more features and more prompts per day, etc.)
I just tried it out on a couple of random questions (one on docker, the other on proxmox networking) and it looks very promising. I didn't even have to login, it showed the sources, it gave step by step instructions, and suggested follow up questions that were helpful. Thanks for sharing!
I'm impressed. Bookmarking this lol

Lumbago?
Today I installed arch on my dad's computer. he can't use one,but it's a win nonetheless.
It just suddenly appeared yesterday on my daughter's Windows 10 notebook. We played with it for like 2 minutes, decided it sucked, never went back. I mean what's the point of an AI which, when asked, "draw a picture of how stupid you are" (my daughter's idea) ends the conversation?
You made me realize I haven't fired up my Windows 11 machine in a while, so I went to check it -- even re-enabling the copilot toggle ... which weirdly did nothing. Then I remembered I had lobotomized all the AI and assistant "features" a while ago.
I'm a little disappointed: I wanted to ask Copilot "How do I purge you from my machine?"
