Does anyone else hate the new Copilot?

Question

It's been on my mind for a while, but I really don't like the new Copilot. Here are the reasons why:

1. The layout. It is NOT user-friendly and is a chore to navigate. The font isn't too great either and may cause readability issues, and it isn't too easy to access your chat history, especially on mobile. The colours don't really help so much, either.
2. Lack of properly cited sources. The original Copilot at least gave citations for where its responses came from, which is especially useful for research purposes. However, the new Copilot doesn't do that at all, which means it can easily plagiarize or hallucinate information, which can be both misleading and even dangerous.
3. The responses. The responses themselves are extremely generic and vague. They lack substance and don't feel nearly as real or at least somewhat authentic as the old Copilot's responses were. I've seen many complaints about this, and those complaints are in every way justified.

For now, based on my observations, these are the reasons why I heavily dislike the new Copilot. For anyone reading this, your voice DOES matter. Please, if you can, send enough feedback to let the developers know that we all collectively feel that this is a major step backwards. Who knows? They might actually restore the old Copilot or provide an option to switch back to the old Copilot.

Answer 1

I've never used Copilot and don't want to. I prefer to write in my own way and resent the way it tries to force its way into everything I do, even e mails. Despite my attempts to disable it, it always comes back. Why is Microsoft so determined that we should use it? In these days of increasing intrusion, I suspect their motives.

Answer 2

yes, completely.

After each new windows update I have to go back into the registry and disable it.

hate this forced technology thing now - you must ALL want this, so your getting it anyway!

Answer 3

I have found the edge/bing/copilot useless. I try doing searches with results that are nowhere what I was looking for. As an example, I was looking for realtors in an area to hire them, I got nothing but real estates for sale. Useless, now I go to Goggle.

Answer 4

The New COPILOT is a TRASH.

Answer 5

yes, not happy, I want to control
