I only heard good things. Well, no bad things. Ok, no awful things. All right, no soul crushingly terrible things.
I give up.
"Not even 3% of paying Copilot users use it even when it's pre-deployed right in their faces”
The Microsoft 3% problem. See Word and Excel features.

It simply doesn't offer anything in a workflow. That's all.
Look at the companies that forced an AI burn rate on their employees. Employees ended up just using it for inane conversations or asking it the weather in Pango Pango to use up credits because they also have no use for it.

But how else am I to find out if I should bring my raincoat on my trip to Pango Pango, which is the capital of the sunny island of Pango Pango? Well, they say it never rains in southern Pango Pango, so there's that.

You don't go to Pango Pango, so there's no need to worry about the rain.

I tried to use it in Excel. Take values from this range on sheet one, compare it with the range on sheet 2 then output any values not found in both ranges into the array on sheet 3. I spent 45 minutes going back and forth with it while it output increasingly shitty macros. I got fed up with and just did it myself in about 15 minutes. Total fucking waste of time.
Company had us try a copilot agent for front line user support. We trained the thing exclusively on our own internal knowledge base. Explicitly told it that it should not include any other references and definitely under no circumstances go out onto the Internet for information. Very first question we put to, it fucking comes back with some instructions from a university's knowledge base quoting their settings and not ours. Fucking put that project to bed immediately. Waste of fucking time and money.
Or how about how it constantly gaslights me in Outlook telling me that words are spelled incorrectly when they are not. It happens so frequently that I find myself googling common words just to make sure I'm not going crazy.
So yeah, maybe make it fucking useful and not completely retarded. More people would want to use it then.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think I sense a slight bit of frustration.

Just a bit. It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a button in every single fucking MS app. "How can Copilot help you here?" By going the fuck away. It's a retard. I don't want it fucking up my spreadsheets and emails let alone my servers.

Pivot tables: how do they work? Honestly fuck if I know never figured that out.

Just a fancy way of sorting data from another location. People make it seem like more than it is. I don't typically mess with them. I'm usually working on csv files or the occasional project budget analysis.
