Microsoft Copilot Mode became a robe in X

Microsoft tried once again to promote Copilot on social media, and guess what… it didn’t go down well with consumers, especially those who have been using Windows for decades. One user told the company that “I’m not a baby” and didn’t need an “in my face” chatbot.

Microsoft, on the other hand, says it's building Copilot for work and integrating it into Edge for Windows 11 because it heard that consumers wanted the Copilot feature at work.

Is that true? Because I don't recall consumers asking for a new Copilot feature specifically tailored for work use cases.

If you don't use Microsoft Edge, you probably don't realize how much Microsoft wants its users to try out Copilot mode. For those who don't know, "Copilot Mode" is Microsoft's version of Perplexity Comet or ChatGPT Atlas.

The idea is that you delegate your tasks to an AI agent that acts on your behalf. Copilot Mode is the default user experience for consumers, but it can be disabled in the settings.

In a post on X , Microsoft claims it’s building “AI-powered browsing that’s safe for work.” Companies can claim that all they want, but the problem is that Microsoft is trying to sell the narrative that businesses desperately need this feature. That’s definitely not the case, at least according to the responses on X.

“I find your detachment from reality disturbing,” wrote one upset user in Microsoft’s post on X claiming to have heard that people want Copilot Mode for work.

"No, you heard wrong. Literally no one asked for Artificial Intelligence. In fact, everyone wants to know how to remove it," wrote another user.

Microsoft, of course, doesn't respond to these comments. The company's social media team only responds to a few praises for Copilot Mode in Edge, ignoring the negative reviews.

Defending the Copilot integration, the company claims that “Agent Mode” in Edge will automate multi-step workflows. But Microsoft nowhere mentions that these “Agent Mode” are not humans for performing tasks with precision.

In response, an IT professional who has managed Windows servers for decades added that literally no IT professional wants Copilot built into Windows.

"If you heard this, you didn't listen well," says another user.

Microsoft has also hinted that Windows 11 is now the canvas for AI. However, at the same time, the company promised that it will do everything in the operating system to fix reliability, design consistency, and other issues.

Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
