I do think that microsoft copilot is good enough for alot of people. I really like it, much more than chat gpt. And that they give you "GPT 4" for free which is cool
Would I love it being forced? No
They will create the same situation as Ubuntu Snap. Is Snap bad? Actually not. Is everything else regarding Snap like Snap Store or the fact that they force it down your throat good? No
How do you like it better than chat gpt? Isn't it the same thing?
Not exactly, ChatGPT is OpenAI's GPT interface. Whereas CoPilot is Microsoft's, and has a bunch of plugins and tweaks to suit their uses. The underlying model is the same, but not the customisation.
Think of it like different flavours of Android. Samsung, Google, and Nothing all have their own spins, even if they all run Android under the hood.
Also ChatGPT 4 is paid but Copilot is free
For 30 usages though. Good backup if ChatGPT fails to give you a good answer.
What plugins?
Unclear, as I don't work for Microsoft. But searching Bing isn't part of the default GPT function set, that's at least one proprietary one that they've specifically done up for their own uses.
