Microsoft is walking back Windows 11's AI overload

Copilot is such a dumb brand name. At least to me, it confers that I need to be a pilot and that it requires training to be one.

I just want to be productive, not fly a plane.

Also, the Copilot is “waiting in the wings” to take over your job.

And when you ask it to do something useful the answer usually is “sorry I can’t do that”.

At least the name is honest.

How about "Borland Sidekick" for a brand name?
