No, they're not. 90% of the "use" is them forcing it on us.
I just tried using my voice to call my son on the phone, and Co-Pilot answered, explained what it could do for me, and finally made the call. It took at least 5 times longer than usual to just dial a number. I didn't ask for Co-Pilot, I barely can stand the old way, this new one really, really sucks, and again, I didn't ask for this, it forced itself on my life.
Fuck this AI shit, complicating everything just so some CEOs can rationalize their stupid bonuses.
