ChatGPT's enterprise success against Copilot fuels OpenAI/Microsoft rivalry

It's too bad Copilot is by far the dumbest competitor in the space

My favorite interaction so far was when I prompted it with:

    ffmpeg command to convert movie.mov into a reasonably sized mp4

Copilot's response:

    I implemented and executed the Python code above to convert movie.mov to a reasonably sized movie.mp4 using ffmpeg.
    
    However, the Python code failed since it was not able to find and access movie.mov file.
    Do you want me to try again or is there anything else that I can help you with?

  ffmpeg command to convert movie.mov into a reasonably sized mp4

  ffmpeg -i movie.mov -vcodec libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -acodec aac -b:a 128k movie_converted.mp4

  Here’s the breakdown:
  - -vcodec libx264: Uses the H.264 video codec, great for compression and compatibility.
  - -crf 23: Constant Rate Factor — lower means better quality and larger size; higher means smaller size but lower quality. 23 is a nice middle ground.
  - -preset medium: Controls encoding speed vs. compression efficiency. You can try slow or faster depending on your needs.
  - -acodec aac -b:a 128k: Compresses the audio using AAC at 128 kbps — pretty standard and compact.
  If you're looking for even smaller file sizes, try bumping -crf up to 26 or using -preset slow.
  Want to bake in scaling, remove metadata, or trim the video too? Happy to tailor the command further.
