This headline nailed it! Turns out, Microsoft just learned the hardest lesson in AI - distribution doesn’t beat usefulness 😳
Microsoft’s AI Copilot was supposed to be everywhere.
In Windows. In Office. In your workflow.
Turns out it’s mostly ignored.
Recent reports say Microsoft quietly cut internal Copilot sales targets by up to 50%.
Not because of vibes. Because of math.
→ Copilot ~14% market share → ChatGPT ~61% → Gemini sprinting into 2nd place
And this is with Microsoft’s insane advantage:
Windows + Office + Azure + OpenAI access 🤯
If that stack can’t force adoption, maybe the problem isn’t distribution. It’s value.
Enterprises tried Copilot. Piloted it. Demoed it. Bought licenses.
Then, employees opened ChatGPT in another tab.
Because most of today’s “AI agents” are confident interns with no context.
So when Microsoft says“70% of Fortune 500 have adopted Copilot”, what it really means is this:
Procurement bought it. Employees didn’t.
Most importantly, forcing AI into everything didn’t help.
People didn’t ask for:
→ AI in Paint → AI watching their documents → AI narrating PowerPoint like a hostage video
They asked for one thing: AI that actually saves time, or does something humans couldn’t do before.
Right now, Copilot does neither.

I mean, this is common sentiment.
There are a few holdouts but very few people coding, especially on things which don't have extremely precise requirements are avoiding this.
Now that people showed a study that says the exact opposite, are you going to modify your position?
People who can't come up with their own arguments, so they just attempt to dogpile on an already bad argument, as the very study linked literally lists exactly that it should not be used to make the argument you're making are some of the most frustrating. Have your own thoughts ffs. We're on "fuck_ai" and you can't even be arsed to do that?
So that would be a "no" then.
Pretty much par for the course for an AI bro.
Calling everyone who doesnt have the same hysteric based, knee jerk reaction as you an ai bro is just immature counterproductive nonsense.
The fact that you use a study which explicitly says not to use it for the thing you use it for, but then claim its I that has the problem is almost comically ignorant.
