The loser in the AI model competition appears to be... Microsoft.

When ChatGPT was the only game in town Microsoft was seen as a leader, thanks to their wise investment in Open AI. They relied on Open AI's model and didn't develop their own. As a result Microsoft has no interesting AI products. Copilot is a flop. Bing failed to take advantage of AI, Perplexity ate their lunch.

Satya Nadella last year: “Google should have been the default winner in the world of big tech’s AI race”.

Sundar Pichai's response: “I would love to do a side-by-side comparison of Microsoft’s own models and our models any day, any time. They are using someone else's model.”

I don't think the Copilot product is a flop - they're doing quite well selling it along with GitHub and Visual Studio (Code).

The best part about it, coding-wise, is that you can choose between 7 different models.

I think he's talking about Microsoft Copilot 365, not the coding assistant.

Makes one wonder how much they are offering to the owner of www.copilot.com and why on God's green earth they would abandon the very strong brand name "Office" and www.office.com

I consider Copilot a flop because it can't do anything. For example open Copilot on Windows and ask it to increase volume. It can't do it, but it will give you instructions for how to do it. In other words it is no better than standalone AI chat websites.

Had to lookup office.com myself to see it; their office package is literally called MS Copilot.

It gets worse, actually. My comment was inaccurate because it could also be the windows assistant outside of MS Office.

At this point, Occam's Razor dictates companies must make these terribly confusing branding choices on purpose. It has to be by design.
