It's such a dumb name, that it makes me genuinely furious there there are people out there who have lied and impostered their way into positions where they can make such decisions, while having absolutely no clue at all what they're even doing in the building.

Apple intelligence makes sense, because the abbreviation is AI. Pretty smart and simple if you think about it.

But Copilot is the kind of name Apple would choose for its product. Things like centre stage, launchpad, facetime... They're all very descriptive and cool sounding names of their software products. Copilot is a great name that they're throwing away along with Cortana because their crappy practices are crappy.

It came from github copilot, which quite literally codes alongside you, like a copilot.
