Their tactics aside, copilot is very useful. It's helped me a ton on my education journey. Free and easy access to it on the desktop has been game changing for me.
It is good but don't abuse it, they're adding it to office as well. Ai generated content is properly marked but it should come with a warning: use with caution. Actually gemini has that warning and google has a natural fear for the digital beast they helped build. Microsoft looked at it, instead, and decided that everyone needed to get all the ai in the world by the means of their products.
I use it because I have learning difficulties and it's nice to be able to ask question after question until I nail down the exact detail that I needed to be able to understand the concept I'm trying to learn. I'll take all the downvotes in the world for this because the benefit I've got from using the service far outweighs anything else.
I also use that when I'm overwhelmed by the amount of materials I have to write down. Indeed, it's rather good for that purpose.
