Should I use Microsoft Copilot? (lemmus.org)

I have been using Micorsoft Bing for a few weeks and using the Rewards program and I'm still debating on whether or not I should be using their new digital assistant Copilot assuming it won't replace everything else.

I am enjoying Microsoft products more but wonder about Copilot when I already dabbled with ChatGPT and OpenAI and also reading up on the subject and asking my family whether it will be detrimental or not to me.

I also use Microsoft Windows for the games you can only find on Steam (Injustice, The Sims 3) which is why I chose to use more Microsoft stuff.

What does everyone think?

Weird responses here so far. I'll try to actually answer the question.

I'm using copilot for 9 months at work now and it's crazy how it accelerates wiring code. I am writing class c code in C++ and rust, and it has become a staple tool like auto formatting. That being said, it cannot really do more abstract stuff like this architecture decisions.

Just try it for some time and see if it fits your use case. I'm hoping the local code models will catch up soon so I can get away from Microsoft, but until then, copilot it is.
