Almost 3 years later, it's time to admit that Microsoft Copilot was a mistake

Microsoft Copilot, the AI assistant integrated across Windows 11 and Microsoft products for nearly three years, has only 33 million active users representing just 2.5% of Windows 10 and 11 users combined. Despite poor adoption compared to ChatGPT's hundreds of millions of weekly users, Microsoft continues expanding Copilot throughout the operating system, contributing to Windows 11's bloated experience. The AI tool's unpopularity has led to criticism of Microsoft prioritizing AI integration over improving core user experience.
