Should I use Microsoft Copilot?

I have been using Micorsoft Bing for a few weeks and using the Rewards program and I'm still debating on whether or not I should be using their new digital assistant Copilot assuming it won't replace everything else.

I am enjoying Microsoft products more but wonder about Copilot when I already dabbled with ChatGPT and OpenAI and also reading up on the subject and asking my family whether it will be detrimental or not to me.

I also use Microsoft Windows for the games you can only find on Steam (Injustice, The Sims 3) which is why I chose to use more Microsoft stuff.

What does everyone think?

I've found Copilot helpful for some research and queries where I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, or when I'm sure something exists but not its exact form, or exactly where it is.

It's unclear what you're intending to use Copilot for. I wouldn't trust it for anything unattended eg answering an email for me.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I was going to use Copilot without over-relying on it too much while using more Microsoft products.

Please try Copilot, Claude 3 opus and Gemini. Please use whichever you prefer. :)

I prefer Claude 3 opus.
