This has to be the idea of the century
No interest in Windows at all, but Copilot is actually a great name for what the product is supposed to be/being marketed as. Windows Intelligence sounds like a return to the very old-school long-winded style of Microsoft branding.
The virgin .NET:
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture; Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;The chad POSIX:
LANG=C
Copilot is fantastic branding tbh. It’s like the MBAs want change for the sake of keeping their jobs.
For real.
I dislike Copilot with a burning passion, but I can’t deny it’s an amazing name. Because that’s what AI in an OS should be.
A copilot. One that will take over and help me do things, especially tedious things like offline translation, better screen reader functionality for the blind, better speech recognition and synthesis, etc.
Of course that’s not what MS is doing, they’re doing it to shove gimmicks down our throat and to scoop up data en masse.
Windows Intelligence is just… Ugh. Do they not get that Apple Intelligence, while still being a bit of a rubbish name, at least works because it still can be shortened to AI?
I agree. In a vacuum, Copilot is a good name, potentially S tier. Too bad they shoved it in everyone’s face and made us all hate it. Now they have to rebrand and hope we don’t hate that too. Spoiler, we will.
Don’t even know why they think rebranding it will work
People aren’t stupid. Referring to shit with another word doesnt make it any less gross.
don’t fool yourself. people still don’t know how to install windows. consider the outside world, not just our echo chamber
You can call it 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓭𝓮, but it’ll still taste like shit.
What’s the markdown for French font?
It’s not markdown, those are different unicode characters. https://cursivegenerator.net/
By the way, you can view the markdown source of comments and text posts. There’s a “view source” button that looks like a document icon on the stock Lemmy UI.
It’s such a dumb name, that it makes me genuinely furious there there are people out there who have lied and impostered their way into positions where they can make such decisions, while having absolutely no clue at all what they’re even doing in the building.
Apple intelligence makes sense, because the abbreviation is AI. Pretty smart and simple if you think about it.
But Copilot is the kind of name Apple would choose for its product. Things like centre stage, launchpad, facetime… They’re all very descriptive and cool sounding names of their software products. Copilot is a great name that they’re throwing away along with Cortana because their crappy practices are crappy.
It came from github copilot, which quite literally codes alongside you, like a copilot.
And also, isn’t Copilot in other MS products besides Windows as well? Even if not now, it could be in the future. This naming would make it limiting to expand.
Why don’t they just call it Clippy?
Or reprise their old assistants from XP.
At least a “computer Wizard” would make them stand out compared to ChatGPT in a funny box.
Microsoft try not to copy everything Apple does challenge: Impossible
At least “Apple Intelligence” is cute because the initials for it are A.I.
that is pitiful
So swap “Apple” for “Microsoft” in the name, huh? Yeah, that’ll work.
Shoukd name it “Micro intelligence”.
Just get the confusing branding over with and call it “Intelligence for Windows Live Business Premium”
Pro max plus
Its still the same PR nightmare and no one wants your AI crapware Micro$oft!
They should invest a couple billion in it, rename it and cancel afterwards.
You’re thinking of Google, not Microsoft.
No, M$. The whole Windows Phone 7 Series or whatever it was called at some point saga
“have you tried painting it pink, then maybe they will like it”
Wow where’d they get that jenius branding idea, I wonder.
Microsoft. Never changes.
I mean that’s standard practice. If a feature, product, or company develops a bad reputation, just rename it. If your market is large enough there will be enough people not paying attention to not realize it’s the same product.
again?
