This has to be the idea of the century
If they did this from the start it might’ve sounded fine, but now it just feels like they’re trend-chasing after Apple Intelligence…
I mean they’re already trend-chasing with the Windows 11 UI.
Seems a lot more similar to Gnome and KDE than Apple tbh.
They have a history of copying stuff (including branding) from Linux projects.
That lawsuit could hold up in court, and I wouldn’t be mad. Fuck MS
Fuck MS
Always has been
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.
Agreed, Copilot was one of if not the best named AI I think. Why they would want to rebrand it to something so bland so quickly is beyond me
Cortana was the best branding, though I understand only resonated within certain circles.
Because it’s Microsoft and they have to compulsively rename things every few years.
The virgin .NET:
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture; Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;The chad POSIX:
LANG=CIt sounds invasive. Like it’s a private intelligence agency and not a chat bot.
Perfectly on brand for Windows then lol
lol I didn’t think like that at first, but now it’ll stay in my mind.
Just so I’m the first one to utter the phrase:
"We have credible reports from Windows Intelligence that a crime has been committed, your computer is going to restart. "
You can call it 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓭𝓮, but it’ll still taste like shit.
Best usage of French vocabulaire I’ve ever seen, and I’m from Canada
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.
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
Should have stayed with Cortana, at least that was a cool name.
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.
Let me just windows app into my computer to see if it’s still called copilot.
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.
Microsoft is famous for nonsensical product and feature renamings. There is Microsoft 365 Copilot in their enterprise offerings, which integrates well with Copilot in Windows. And there is a tool to build your own Copilots with customized logic and data sources.
Why don’t they just call it Clippy?
Or artificial intelligence explorer. AIE for short. And give it a blue icon of an E or something.
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.
Its still the same PR nightmare and no one wants your AI crapware Micro$oft!
Yeah I love that it’s just a shitty product, but no, go on try fixing it with ✨ rebranding ✨
This is not only for Microsoft, AI is overhyped as a whole.
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
Wow where’d they get that jenius branding idea, I wonder.
Microsoft. Never changes.
Ooh, can I use that App that used to be Remote Desktop and then they renamed it, hmm, what did they call it… oh right “Windows App”
You mean “Microsoft Terminal Services Client”?
That would be an oxymoron.
