This is the first time a corporation has spoiled a word for me.
"Copilot" is a term like any other and when I first heard the name, I thought it was an alright, if uninspired, choice.
Now I can't hear the word "Copilot" used in any context without having negative feelings due to Microsoft's saturation campaign.
Speaking of this, I also wonder about present and future people named "Claude", a mainstream name in some parts of the world.
Happens frequently. I can't hear tremendous anymore. Just considering ai I'm fed up with load bearing, wrinkle, catch...
It got to the point where I feel irrationally hostile to a message when it claims I'm right :).
Hey now, I love Claudish! That's my honest load bearing assessment that I'd like to flag.
Even just the term AI is now so cancerous!
A bit unrelated to that thread but I love that clip from a debate where John McCarthy interjects: https://youtu.be/pyU9pm1hmYs?t=152
“Excuse me. I invented the term artificial intelligence. I invented it because we had to do something when we were trying to get money for a summer study in 1956, and I had a previous bad experience”
(The whole debate is interesting, I would recommend if you like that type of historical things)
This happens all the time. Mercedes is a fairly common first name for girls in Spanish countries. Then, of course Alexa, etc.
Fair enough, although nobody thinks Mercedes cars will possibly replace/destroy humanity.
Please don't give them any ideas.
How often were you using copilot before hand?
More often than I was using the words Gemini, Claude or Alexa.
Really? A word?!
"crypto"

The sad part of this is that all those powerful NPUs are basically paperweight.
35-50 low power TOPS taking 1/5 of the die area and not being used by anyone...
These things are a waste of sand.
Could’ve added more gpu or cpu or cache and people would’ve been happier.
When these came out, I thought, what is the average PC user going to get out of this? Faster image touchups, and...? You can't run an LLM chatbot of any comparison to free cloud models.
Oh yeah, and Recall. That worked out well.
Yep… massive waste. A dsp coprocessor hobbled by npu workflows.
We cantnrun local models on them? They must have some sort of api exposed right? Qualcomm has the Snapdragon Neural Processing Engine iirc
You can do cool experiments with them. But nothing a typical consumer is likely to care about.
We laugh at Google being deadly behind with Gemini but is there a place that has fumbled it like Microsoft? I guess Apple comes close, but with them you get the feeling they were never in it to begin with.
Apple "Intelligence" being behind is now being sold as a value add by the Apple fanbois.
You can't be behind if you don't allow competition.
Microsoft has between a 27 and 32% stake in OpenAI

For something to be considered dead, it must have been alive in the first place, which was never the case with the Copilot PC brand.
Maybe for developers. Not sure ordinary consumers looking for a new tablet or laptop will be asking for “NPU experiences”
so can we actually remap that useless coilot button that replaced the useful menu key?
