Entirely unsurprising to virtually everyone. Both them and Google release a ton of shovelware, just to fill a gap in the market, and it's never about being the best. It's always about being the first, no matter how poor the product's design or quality are
They are preparing to shovel chatgpt with a new name called copilot. Will soon be on every machine running windows 11.
That would be a pretty stupid thing to call it, since they already have a product called copilot which is a coding assist tool powered by chat gpt.
The new tool will be called bing copilot. And GitHub Copilot doesn't really appear to be powered by ChatGPT since it came out of preview last year.
They have an upcoming tool called GitHub Copilot X which is powered by ChatGPT so you can ask it questions and all that.
Imo it's not the stupidest name since it will tie the two products together.
Cortana was cooler even though I have and couldn't ever try it.
P.S. the X in GitHub Copilot X is fortunately a placeholder.
Copilot uses codex, it’s another OpenAI model but you can generally consider chatgpt to be a superset of that
