Microsoft has published an ad promoting Copilot on Windows 11, but it contains a hilarious error that actually proves how useless the AI is.

    To anyone thinking this is “not such a big deal”:

    Consider this is one of the most valuable, influential companies on the planet. They’re pushing Copilot like their bottom line depends on it.

    Not only did Copilot give an objectively incorrect response - and bring into question the fundamental usefulness of the feature - I think what’s being glossed over is: They published this.

    For a company that’s so desperate to push a clearly half-baked, unwanted feature - publishing an ad showing it malfunctioning is hilariously inept. It’s not just a bad look for the product, it’s an embarrassment for the company.

      Since the start they have been publishing pre-made falsehoods that they should have had every reason to fact check before making a big deal about how great the thing is.
