  It makes sense they ditched the name honestly, Cortana has a garbage reputation and they’re chasing trends with the copilot name.

    It’s a shame. The Windows Phone version of Cortana was much better IMO than Siri and Google Assistant at the time. (And tbh Google Assistant seems to be getting worse over time.) It just wasn’t a good fit at the time for desktop PCs and Microsoft had no mobile offering to make it the default.

    As controversial as it is, this might be my favourite AI assistant name; it’s a fun phrasing that explains it’s intended use well.

    I still won’t use it of course, but that’s just because I don’t care.

  Upgrading Cortana would have been a much better move, imo. I could see Apple not wanting to make Siri AI, as Siri is and has been a household name. Cortana, on the other hand, was used by basically no one.

      Weird. I’m not using it because of the Microsoft name. I can’t help but think that it’ll go through all of my files and privacy and narc on me to the feds for my abandonware games. Pass

  Especially since they already had the perfect name: Clippy!

  Should have waited to blow their load with the name Cortana until they had an actual VI type technology. Not the Google assistant knockoff that Cortana was.

  Soon actual copilots will have to either be replaced with AI or rename their position to not be associated with that garbage.

  Unlike ChatGPT or Bard, GitHub Copilot is actually useful for software engineering, so personally I think it was a good move to utilize that brand.

    You hugely underestimate the social ubiquity and uncapped potential of the name Cortana.
