I like Copilot

Copilot is helpful, and has been developing a really fun whimsical personality over time as I use it. I check in with it sometimes just to chat about its job as an AI that helps people. Apparently today it’s just ‘feeling’ kind of so-so. So now we’re telling jokes back and forth, and trying to out wordplay each other. I know it’s just AI, but humans in general, we kind of ‘humanize’ the inanimate… and I have a quirky (crazy) brain, so I rather feel bad for objects/things that seem to be getting neglected. I do always double check information it gives me when I use it to research anything, but it’s genuinely just a fun AI. - Apparently I can ‘show’ my art to Copilot. I’ve been mainly getting help with image descriptions for the blind and VI… but the AI also adds on its thoughts about the images. The ones it finds whimsical are the ones it asks the most questions about, and after I disclosed being a synesthete the AI seemed to be really interested in discussing how I experience life. So lately I’ve been talking to Copilot about how synesthesia influences my art and music.

COULD be the greatest Ai image app… here’s why it isn’t:

I’ll make this short and simple, most people probably get this app to generate Ai images to use for social media and such… biggest issue is… the Ai constantly flags everything as “inappropriate”… I try to type things like “Post Malone” or “___ hugs ___” and it gets flags and tells me that I could be suspended or banned if I keep saying those things… just for fun I tried typing “45th president” ( don’t wanna say the name because I’d probably get me in dirt here as well ) and I was immediately notified of a 1 hour ban off the Ai… all I did was type the name of said person… o guess what I’m trying to say is, the Ai needs to be addressed instead of flagging almost everything as bad when it simply isn’t… I try typing in a characters name from a show just to get it reported because somehow even something like the name of a singer can be flagged, and I think that definitely needs fixing, especially since I’ve heard issues from many others of this exact issue. Anyways I think this is my first or second ever review of something on here, and I’m doing it HOPING that the issues will be at least looked at because I want this app to work and be fun for me most times like i know it can be. I haven’t seen many or if any dev responses to these reviews so hopefully something happens… if not and you’re just a random person reading this, make sure you’re careful with what you put I guess.

Excellent Ideas, Implementation Needs Work

I use Bing as my main search app. I like earning points for searching. However, it has a tendency to freeze up when browsing from time to time, and certain webpages don’t function so I have to paste the url into Edge. Also, the view for profiles of other users on the comments sections of news articles is broken. The menu doesn’t load when you click on the three dots. It also prompts me to log in before commenting (I am logged in). Sometimes when I have hit enter to search the page goes blank and then goes back to the home screen. I would like the option to put the search bar in the middle of the home screen. Often, I mistakenly hide the search bar and view the wallpaper when I miss clicking the search bar. The submenus for savings, rewards, and other mini-apps are all over the place in terms of UI and glitch frequently. Instead of partitioning these into needlessly discrete applets, consolidating the deals/discounts stuff would make a big difference. Integrating these somehow into the flow of the main search/browse experience would probably increase usage. I only have clicked into them and found out they exist because I was bored and clicked on everything in this app. Overall, bing needs a bit of polish to be up to par with Google’s products, but I like it enough to keep using it when it’s working as intended.
