Work gave me a subscription so I use Opus in M365 Copilot rather than paying for my own Claude/ChatGPT/etc. It's a bit quirky in that it won't accept a lot of file formats, but appending .txt to the end works. I also use https://github.com/simonw/files-to-prompt to combine everything into one file which also helps.
I have to say the only part of copilot in m365 I really like is cowork. We have a preview version of it and it's great to spar with it and give it recurring tasks to do. Finally something that actually actively helps.
But that's billed separately on a token basis and cost really adds up.
The other stuff is just not so useful to me. I use it a bit to search for emails and teams chats but that's also cause the search in outlook and teams is so bad. It's not that I'm against AI; I use perplexity a lot personally, at work it's not allowed though. Copilot is just not performing well.
It's just an entertainment product, not a frontier coding LLM or real capable AI. They say it's for entertainment too in their docs. What do they expect? It's probably directly competing with netflix, xbox etc.

I can imagine people don't really use it.
Got a bunch of comments in one spreadsheet but now I have an updated version without comments, move those comments over.
Can give it some pseudo-code type of prompt. There are probably better ways to do it but this requires less cognitive load/skill for most.

Seems to me that 4.5% of 500 million isn't necessarily terrible. What should the rate be?
