Comment on Insane: Microsoft's latest ad proves how useless Copilot on Windows 11 actually is

Copilot didn’t suggest 150% in the context of a set of instructions. He specifically asked Copilot which percentage to set. That was the only task which Copilot was being asked to solve at that point in time.

You might also say that this is a simple task, so nobody would actually ask Copilot what percentage to use but isn’t that the point? This task, which Copilot failed on, is a simple task.

He specifically asked Copilot which percentage to set.

Ah, I see. That’s not at all clear from what the article says:

In the video, the influencer activates Copilot with the “Hey Copilot” voice activation and then asks it how they can increase the font size via Windows Settings.

Perhaps the original video has what you’re talking about.

  Yes, it does. It’s only a short video but, anyway:
  
  He has already opened the drop-down, where 150% is currently selected. He asks “what percentage should I click?” and Copilot replies “let’s start with 150%, which is the recommended size”. He hesitates slightly, then says “let’s…”, clicks 200% and then says “boom!”.

I think it’s funny that copilot goes around the Internet scraping everyone’s info but somehow doesn’t have access to a value in Windows’ own setting

  The even funnier thing is, that it most probably has, but it prompt injected itself with the word “recommended”.
