The Copilot Problem

So, we've named our DVD service Quickster. Now, I've seen some pretty bad naming conventions. This happened to be one of the single worst ones that we've ever seen. But it turns out that Microsoft actually has decided that they want the crown. They want to be number one in the single worst naming conventions. And of course, I'm talking about Co-Pilot, which is kind of funny cuz during research for this video, I just searched up worst naming conventions company. And even Gemini was just like, "Yo, it's Microsoft." Yeah, if you're wondering, it's actually Microsoft. Microsoft is like the worst. And that actually reminded me, there's this whole Xbox thing, you know, the old one Xbox One Xbox Microsoft or the whole remote desktop being renamed into Windows app. This is just so bad. But really, the true crime comes with Copilot. If you're not familiar with Copilot, Copilot has a long and rich history. It first started off on GitHub. So, this is like 2022, late 2022, maybe October, and GitHub releases C-Pilot. It is this autocomplete inliner that you can be able to write code significantly faster by having it. And honestly, it was a pretty wild time. This was a lot of programmers kind of first introduction into the chat jeopardy series. And of course, unlike today, AI wasn't hyped or just insane. See, in 2023, people had really reasonable and normal takes. They weren't saying things like it's so over or AI is going to take your jobs. No, we're just a bunch of levelheaded devs having nice discussions on the internet. Anyways, a short while later after Microsoft saw the grand success of Microsoft GitHub's copilot, Microsoft decided to have Microsoft Copilot also. So that way you could have Microsoft GitHub copilot and Microsoft copilot so that way you can have your cooperating system cooperate with you. Yes. So that means literally Microsoft had co-pilot the chat interface and also C-pilot the GitHub programming interface which by the way I don't know if you noticed this there was also GitHub copilot X okay GitHub Copilot pen maybe I'm not really sure if that's Roman numeral or not but there was actually two versions of GitHub Copilot during this time but that just wasn't enough for Microsoft okay they wanted something even better they wanted the co-pilot PC meet the computer you can talk to. Go ahead. Just ask co-pilot anything. Grandma needs to make the text bigger. The text is just too small. So, we just ask co-pilot. Hey, co-pilot. Hey there, Judner. What's on your mind today? I want to make the text on my screen bigger. Can you show me where to click to do that? All right, Judner. I've highlighted the display option for you. Click there to adjust text. Imagine if Copilot could just, I don't know, click it instead of highlighting it for you. Size and other display settings. Can you show me what to click next? I've highlighted the scale setting for you. Click there to change the size of text, apps, and other items. What percentage should I click? Let's start by selecting 150. I love that part. Let's start by selecting 150. Dude, you started off with make my font bigger and the suggestion is to keep it the same. Oh my gosh. By the way, this video was deleted because of how much it got made fun of. I love that co-pilot got prompt injected by a recommended like it saw it went through the list. It went, "Ah, yo, 150 recommended for you, baby. I got I got you." But maybe that's not enough co-pilots for you. Maybe you want co-pilot plus PC with your co-pilot Windows experience. That way you can have a proper co-operating system. Yes. See, this C-pilot Plus is actually a PC designed to run Microsoft Copilot, but not Microsoft Copilot Chat. We're talking about Microsoft Copilot Windows Copilot Edition. Don't get them confused. They're completely different and it's pretty obvious which one I'm talking about at this current moment. When I say the word Copilot, I'm not talking about the hardware side on Copilot Plus or the chat side. I'm talking about the operating system side. But honestly, if this list confuses you, just go to their docs and decide which co-pilot's right for me and my organization. I know this isn't about all the different co-pilots. It's just funny that they even have a doc trying to explain to you what Microsoft Copilot you should be using and that is because maybe you want to use Microsoft 365 copilot. Now this is obviously not Microsoft Copilot. This is Microsoft 365 Copilot. This is not PC copilot and this is not copilot plus PC. Okay, you technically on your co-pilot plus PC using PC co-pilot could actually have your co-pilot chat recommend your co-pilot 365 if that is that that's that's if if you want that kind of game. You know what I'm talking about. Satia, don't even try to play koi with me. If we keep this up, Satia is going to show you why they call it Microsoft. But honestly, if you'd like to go to the next level, you don't even want Microsoft 365 copilot. You want Microsoft Dynamic 365 Copilot. The new era of AI powered business. The king of all the co-pilot. Oh, wait, wait, no, no. I I was wrong. Actually, the true king of all co-pilots is co-pilot checkout and brand agents. Yes, a partnership with PayPal. Microsoft now has C-pilot Checkout. Now, you're probably thinking there's just no possibility that this could get any worse because honestly, after all of that, I'm even a little bit confused. Okay, I I spent an unordinary amount of time going through all the different co-pilots and leaving several on the table cuz it's just entirely too absurd. The tweet isn't really exaggerating. And just in case you need a friendly diagram, you can look at this really quickly. But I want to actually jump back to this old Xbox thing because I realize something. There's an opportunity here that I think Microsoft Microsoft is preparing for. Okay, I think we're about to see a co-pilot Xbox edition. Okay, Cortana 2.0. Yes, maybe they killed one of my favorite iconic characters from Halo. Actually, I mean, technically, they killed her a while ago. Okay, Halo Infinite. RIP Cortana. Also, RIP Halo ever since pretty much like Halo 5. But Microsoft has decided that you know who needs to lead up the next Xbox game division right here. Well, the new CEO of Microsoft gaming, Asha Chararma. Guess what? She was the president of Microsoft Core AI. Yes, she probably oversaw all of the little co-pilots. So, you already know where this is going. Co-pilot Gaming. Everybody, I want you to buckle up, okay? Because honestly, you don't have enough AI in your life. We're going to make AI in all of it. AI will continue until morale improves in which it will still continue anyways because honestly, the only thing that really matters is shareholder value. If you're not delivering value, what are you doing? So, that means I need you. Yes, you to play more games. And I want you to have more co-pilot AI in those games. So that way you can show adoption which shows shareholder value which gets this nice lady an epic bonus because honestly that's the way the world works. The name is the copilogen. Actually no the name's not that. I don't want to get sued by Microsoft. Uh the name's obviously the primogen. Okay. I don't I don't need any debacles here. I certainly don't want to become another Mike Row like that. That's not I I don't want that at all. So, please please Microsoft, this my name is just the prime engine. Nothing to do with your stuff, okay? Your stuff's completely different. Uh, thank you very much. A gen. Hey, is that HTTP? Get that out of here. That's not how we order coffee. We order coffee via ssh terminal.shop. Yeah, you want a real experience. You want real coffee. You want awesome subscriptions so you never have to remember again. Oh, you want exclusive blends with exclusive coffee and exclusive content? Then check out CRON. You don't know what SSH is? Well, maybe the coffee is not for you. Living the dream.
