Microsoft Copilot is the new Internet Explorer

Microsoft's Copilot, akin to Internet Explorer, is facing significant user resistance. Despite being pre-installed on Windows PCs, users are opting for alternatives like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Copilot's limited flexibility, reliability, and usefulness compared to competitors, along with Microsoft's aggressive promotion, mirror the dissatisfaction users had with Internet Explorer. Copilot's integration with Microsoft 365 and GitHub offers some advantages, but these are not widely felt by standard users. Microsoft's internal acknowledgment of Copilot's shortcomings and preference for other AI tools highlight the need for significant improvements to gain user acceptance.
