    So they now have two separate AI chatbots named Copilot now? Obviously GitHub Copilot is focused on coding, but this one seems like it is not. Both are owned by Microsoft. Both are called Copilot. Both are AI chatbots.

      Coming from the Company that brought you “Visual Studio” and “Visual Studio Code” and called the followup of “.NET Framework” just “.NET”. Sometimes I think they want their products to be hard to search.

        Or the Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One X/S, Xbox Series X/S.

        Or Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11.

        Someone at Microsoft just really wants people to know that naming is hard. I am pretty sure they’re intentionally confusing customers so they only know what the current product is.

    They also locked it behind Edge or the official “Bing app” on mobile. You can no longer just try out Bing Chat from the browser.
