Microsoft's Copilot: A Frustrating Flop in AI-Powered Productivity
This reply's advice is solid. Copilot feels much more mature now than it did a little more than a year ago. Currently, I implement Copilot into most of my workflow. I rarely Google anything anymore, as I have found CoPilot to generate answers to the questions, I have that are more thorough and tailored to my specific needs. I use it to search for domain names, as it not only lets me know which are available, it offers great suggestions, something other companies try to do with their AI models, but they fall noticeably short when compared to Copilot. I use it to price cloud services/resources. It has even replaced Linux manual pages and in many instances a BASH Shell commands help flag (--help). I rarely use Stack Exchange sites anymore; Copilot helps me find solutions in far less time. It is also helpful when debugging code, or learning a new programming language, runtime platform, API, SDK, library, or framework. It has completely replaced 3rd party learning resources like guides, tutorials, and YouTube videos.
Honestly, the better Copilot becomes, the better I become at my work. At this point it is an indispensable tool for me.
Thank you for your kind words! I completely agree that finding practical use cases is crucial in any AI journey. It's great to hear that you've discovered valuable applications with Copilot.
