Unless I am using it wrong, the new web version (an I assume the iOS app, which I use less often) of Copilot is such a disappointment on so many levels. The home page used to be where you could easily start a new chat. Now, it takes three steps to get to that. Your list of recent chats used to be easily accessible on the right side of the page. Now it takes two steps to get to it and it is not nearly as readible. But perhaps the worst thing that I discovered today: The old version actually remembered information from previous chats. I could ask it something about a topic we had discussed earlier, and it would be able to find the information, to some degree. In fact, in the old version, it sometimes responded to a new chat by making a reference to something in a previous chat. I am writing a story about a boy named Max, and several times I have asked Copilot to review text I have written for grammar and punctuation, and to ask if it has some suggestions for "show, don't tell." Many of those text segments contained information about Max. Later, I had a chat with Copilot about different ways to show a certain emotion. Even though the chat was a week later and didn't make any reference to Max, or even my story, it used Max and another character's names when giving me examples. And it wouild say something like, "In your fantasy story, you could..." Can't do that any more. Why did they make Copilot more stupid? Anyway, it was once the best AI I was using. Now it is trash. Thanks for reading my rant!

Yeah, thinking about dumping mine and going with ChatGPT. I do not know what they were thinking!

Hard agree, its terrible. I used it for image generation, It used to generate 4 images at a time - it now generates 1 at a time. I'll probably cancel my pro membership now

This new version of copilot really is garbage. not only is the interface awful but it also stays locked in on the previous chat you were in even when closing the browser. The old copilot would make a new topic when searching for something from bing search but this new one is always stuck on the last conversion and you could find yourself talking about something that shouldn't be in that topic.

I regularly used Co-pilot for my writing and researching since April. It was the best I could find that would help me with my projects. Then I had to take a few months break and last week I finally got back to my project again and discovered how co-pilot has been updated. I lost all of my previous chats and topics. Worse, it only provides 2 or 3 sentence information unlike before where I used to get at least 2 or 3 paragraphs worth of materials. Then there are the glitches such as sentences or paragraphs are incomplete. It has been absolutely horrendous. The AI art generation was bad before but now its worse. And now I am in my search again to look for another AI tool to fulfill my requirements. This was so heartbreaking. And I know this is gone forever as Microsoft is really a dinosaur company at the moment. They haven't been on par with most of their projects or are just behind others.

Can agree more... I thought it is just me, lol I find the new one is so dumb that it keeps giving me a link that direct me to copilot... Lol

Am I using it wrong, or is the new version of Copilot is a massive disappointment?
