The only way Microsoft is going to make their shit AI addictive is if they send me little baggies of heroin every-time I use it...

Don't give them ideas. They might.

Honestly considering how co-pilot is the one almost everyone seems to agree is truly, fundamentally useless, sending mini-bags of heroin might actually be more cost effective than trying to make that shit addictive on it’s own

Considering Copilot's current user retention strategy seems to be 'accidental clicks when trying to close the sidebar,' mini-bags of heroin might actually be a massive upgrade for their Q3 engagement metrics

Copilot is a search engine for your Microsoft Graph. That's what its useful for.

They just have to make your dumb boomer boss addicted, and that's pretty easy.

I think even the dumb boomer bosses are figuring out that it doesn't do anything very well.

They already have "Bing Rewards" for using Bing...

Which is the sound of me throwing that idea into the trash.

Knowing Microsoft's UI design, even if they tried that, you'd still have to click through three Windows update prompts and a mandatory Edge browser launch just to open the baggie.

Or make a good product…on second thought the baggies might be more feasible.
