Why Microsoft is so obsessed with the word "copilot"? There's like 4 different things with the same name.

Missed opportunity to re-brand clippy

Good. Clippy doesn't deserve to get treated like that.

Microsoft will definitely have the power to bulldoze all other things named copilot, like Facebook did to meta. I'm still not over AI being a lame word now. I miss the time when it felt sci-fi and not like a corporate buzzword.

William Gibson made the metaverse, fuck FB for stealing that cool name for a 3D world and then botchering it so hard it will never ever even be a thing lol. I mean how hard can it be with those kind of budgets they have. Smh.
