copilot is just for entertainment? Per the TOS... Highlighting is my own. From that last boost. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot/for-individuals/termsofuse

    @invadersil Plenty of Microsoft's other software may not work as intended, so I don't see this as a big change.

    @invadersil lots of things are labeled "for entertainment use only" or "for novelty use only."

    @invadersil @cstross It certainly doesn't help with work. Maybe it entertains Microsoft to be able to charge more for systems with extra spyware?

    @invadersil Now I’m considering if it would be possible to have entertainment software on corporate computers explicitlyprohibited, and then have CoPilot banned… 🤔

    @invadersil "entertainment"? huh... i give it one out of five stars. i've seen mandatory HR training videos that were more entertaining. i've had DMV visits more entertaining.

    @invadersil You know how someone tries to get away with saying some horrible sexist or racist thing by claiming they were just joking? "For entertainment only" is the equivalent of that. They are neither joking, nor trying to entertain. Microsoft just wants something they can point to, when they get sued.

    @invadersil was pretty much expecting this, and even more, like in the text entry field. Particularly after the lady who dropped her legal team and pursued action against her insurance company with ChatGPT legal briefs. The insurance company and their lawyers are suing OpenAI for practicing law in the state without a license. Expect a disclaimer on all of them soon that says they’re not intended to be used for any serious purpose ever. I’m expecting many more lawsuits.
