As a heavy AI user on a daily basis...Copilot is hands down one of, if not the worst, in existence.

This will not end well for them.

Copilot is literally ChatGPT

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It can't be literally chatgpt and use different letters. One of them has an O.

I asked chatgpt (because this shitpost needs more AI), and it said:

So while their names are different, the core AI technology is the same! It's like having two different brands (say, Ford and Tesla) both using electric motors—the motor is the same technology, just in different vehicles.

But comparing suicidal cars to a Ford is total baloney, so ChatGPT is full of shit.

It's been an honour to waste your time and 72L of water to get the AI to shitpost.

because it uses ChatGPT for its backend

I think they're being sarcasitc lol

am being serious

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 23 hours ago

Yeah and ChatGPT sucks compared to many.

[–] fuzzzerd@programming.dev 1 points 23 hours ago

System prompt and other tooling make some difference.

[–] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 1 points 21 hours ago

If I ask copilot to help write a power automate script or similar, I guarantee it will not work. It won't make sense. And if I do it from within power automate, it wants to replace what I already have there. It's a mess.

If I pull up chatgot on my phone (because it's blacklisted at work) I will get very clear, step by step instructions that are usually good enough or occasionally not correct but close enough that I can tweak it back on course.

Have found this too.

We were only allowed to use Copilot at my last job, ChatGPT + the others were all blacklisted.

We received SO many tickets from users across the organisation (including IT) requesting access to ChatGPT.
