AskWoody PlusOctober 28, 2024 at 4:21 pm #2713161My Windows 11 laptop popped up with a beta version of CoPilot a few weeks ago, and I used it to help find material for footnotes to provide a couple of sentences about people (mostly public figures) whose names were given in transcribed interviews. I always double-checked what it said, but it was pretty impressive in its accuracy most of the time and was no-nonsense in its interface, quite sleek. It always provided links to its sources. Then, on the Windows update that came a week or so ago, the sleek CoPilot went away and a chatty one that wanted to know my name and asked me to choose a voice for it etc., etc. came up instead. I quit using it for that reason. I wish they’d have left it alone.
I’ve also tried the DuckDuckGo AI, but it’s really untrustworthy, alas. I generally need birth and death years for people, and it gives wrong ones a lot.
