Thoughts on Copilot as a generative AI Assistant?

I've been using Copilot at work for a bit now, mostly for drafting emails and summarizing documents. It’s been helpful, but I’m curious how others feel about its capabilities compared to other AI assistants like ChatGPT or Gemini.

Is there perhaps an overall ‘best’ AI, or do they each have strengths in specific areas? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!
 
I would like to not see copilot ai slop again on my computer. That is my honest feeling about it. If i need it i would open up a new browser tab.
 
Tried to switch to copilot a while back. I can't believe how much worse copilot is at reasoning tasks compared to chatgpt. Not only does it generate wrong answers, you can tell it exactly how it's wrong, it'll admit to it's mistake, and then give you the exact same output again!
 
Slightly off-topic but does it have integration with MS Outlook? I couldn't find it, and it wasn't listed among the add-ins either.

You need to use the right model in Copilot. For example Chatgpt based ones work well with python/Javascript. Claude is better if language is Java. Have not tried other languages.Also create a markdown file with detailed instructions on what kind of code is expected and programming principles to follow (OOPS, SOLID, DRY).
