Comment on Microsoft's Pricey AI Assistant Copilot Leaves Early Adopters Feeling Cheated

I have not had a chance to test the office integrations (and the $30 price tag may keep it that way,) but I’ve been testing the web chat version, and once toggled to “precise” mode I find it close to chatgpt. Just a little more prone to lapse into acting like a bing chat app and very limited in conversation length…
I think the trick is to treat it like a junior assistant or maybe an intern who might make mistakes and not as a seasoned, experienced employee who always puts out perfect work.

$30? Idk how it is in the consumer space, but in the Enterprise world the initial opening for copilot required 300 seats of E3 or better, and then a purchase of 300 seats of copilot at $30 each. They were supposed to drop the 300 copilot seat req q1 but I’m not sure if they did.
3030012=108,000 per year for copilot. E3 is 36 a month, 30012=129,600.
Big money.

I’m told they dropped the seat requirements. Yeah $30 is the business rate. No discounts for education. I suspect the backend costs on this are still rather high but should improve once hardware catches up to demand.
