Microsoft Copilot ١٧+

I am a lover of artists, craftsmen and women, etc. because I have always (literal) sucked at it. Those of you who were in the 7th or 8th grade in the 1975 to 1977 timeframe will remember the variety of classes that provided what was supposed to be instruction in multiple facets of non-academic education, e.g., music, domestics (cooking, sewing), industrial arts, visual arts. I failed them all. I was afraid of the equipment in industrial arts; I hated cooking; I couldn’t even sew a hem or make a zipper; and I won’t hurt my feelings further by mentioning my singing.

Copilot “makes” me creative. I can now speak my needs into a microphone and get such beautiful designs and ideas. No, I would never (underlined) take credit for any of the creations. However, I know that without Copilot, I would fail at ideas/designs for Vacation Bible Study, business logos, etc. I am grateful for its availability.

My love for arts and crafts and artisans who create them remain respected, lauded, and fawned upon. What generates on Copilot is to assist me in solving a problem. I am indeed grateful.

Definitely not there yet, sometimes I ask the AI to draw some or find something and it fails. “images cannot be created” this is legit stuff like the boss and naked snake, together from MGS3 and it’s always able to portray big boss perfectly but always fails on drawing the boss.. so I’m not sure if it’s a copy write thing or but there’s been other instances. I don’t think it quite there yet but To be fair I have had some great conversations with the thing, when we chat I tell it my name and ask what it wants to be called “Copper”. When it does work right it’s pretty cool tho but I’ve had more frustrating non working moments than good I’m afraid thus my review is true to my experience while everyone else gives high praise but my review is meant to help and to improve co-pilot. If it gets better and has better adaptability and can do more with images (like create a single 1 instead of 4) or do better with group photos etc I will be happy to change my review.

(Edit) after using it, if you try naming something or ask it to create anything other than “beautiful” it won’t. It fails, it also has problems distinguishing features and just make things up without attention to detain on some, fan art but not all almost like there’s a block/copy write.. I asked Googles Gemeni AI and it did it perfectly so I changed my rating to 1 star because co-pilot is limited in a lot of ways and is HEAVILY censored. Which makes sense but spoils the fun, leads to disappointment.

Not sure what the poor ratings from others are about though I would guess they're from first made available (designed for ipad/iphone). I too noticed a couple bugs but since then its working pretty smoothly.

Having tried Pro for a month I'm not sure I'll keep paying $20 as theres too much to gain unless you intend to generate a boat load of images and/or want to use it within word or outlook instead of copying and pasting into the app or using Edge/Bing. (Note: I had to delete and then re-download office 365 apps and pay for my 365 personal subscriptiion/license via microsoft store for that functionality- it didnt seem to work downloading from the app store).

So useful and only going to get better ... until it turns into terminator / skynet but til then or another app proves to be better i'll continue using it.
