Why do you like it? Serious question, of all the jobs I've worked at that push Copilot - it is easily the worst AI out there. Just absolute garbage results.
I like it because I can take mandatory company meeting standards and blend them with relatable topics that I'd like to discuss into an easy to read format for a meeting.
It's nice to be able to take someone's very shitty block style email and turn it into bullet point style information to save myself time and a headache instead of spending 5 minutes trying to decipher their mashed together hieroglyphics.
During a fancy higher level tour/meeting, it's nice to combine all the notes/takeaways and put them into a proper format.
So I guess I like it because of super fast formatting abilities.
Ah, okay, I guess the context helps! I use AI largely for coding, and Copilot has just been super bad at that.
I was under the impression that most Ai is dogshit at coding. This coming from someone who is not in that field.
I wouldn't say it is perfect by any means, and definitely not as amazing as the industry would lead you to believe.
But with the right planning and context feeding, it is definitely a useful tool. While it has saved me tons of time, I continue to push the narrative that it sucks to management though.
I recently finished a planning session for a project totaling some 40 or so overall tickets of work to be delivered in January 2026. It took about 2 days of careful context structuring and specific planning, but the result is that about 85% of that work is already done by the end of the 3rd day. Now I just plan to slow roll reviewing, tweaking, and testing.
