The biggest issue with Copilot might not be the model itself, but the naming strategy. One name is used for several completely different products, and users end up totally confused. You think you're using GitHub Copilot, but it's actually M365 Copilot, and you don't even get to choose the model. Microsoft really needs to make this clearer.

You probably are not a customer as a decision maker in a big traditional company/organization. MS is obfuscating on purpose so they can say in sales decks that if you buy this, you get all these copilots and your Fortune 1000 business is AI-proof. What they are left out is that not every copilot is equal.

This worked very well for IBM Watson.

"Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" is a quote your grandparents used.

What doesn't work anymore for IBM still certainly works for Oracle and the rest of the sales-driven tech giants.
