Copilot is 'for entertainment purposes only', per Microsoft's terms of use (techcrunch.com)

Go to https://copilot.com and ask a question. You can see from the answer that it is clearly for entertainment only. Three years ago Microsoft was considered a leader for having the foresight to invest in OpenAI. Today they are a laggard.

All Microsoft services are for entertainment purposes only, as in you’d have to be absolutely crazy enough to use before a Microsoft sales rep has taken your execs to a steakhouse and strip club.

which copilot?

True .... sometimes it gives funny answers

Entertainment purposes but we can't have a virtual waifu. They are missing the main market there.

I get the sense that this is the LLM version of the all caps boilerplate disclaimer in every software warranty.

Why is there an AI chat window on my GitHub homepage? I just wanted a list of my repos!

I can understand people being entertained by typing rm -rf /

The idea that Copilot can do the same, and I can't sue Microsoft for it seems to me a similar kind of entertainment.

Unfortunately, my company isn't allowed to purchase entertainment for its employees because we've received advice it is considered payment-in-kind

Which of the 78 copilots? https://teybannerman.github.io/strategy/2026/03/31/how-many-...

Does this mean I can tell my team to stop requesting CoPilot code reviews on my pull requests?
