>The irony of this, is that Microsoft was trying to push CoPilot everywhere, however eventually Apple, Google and JetBrains have their own AI integrations, taking CoPilot out of the loop.
What is the irony? Microsoft integrated copilot in Vscode, bing, etc. Apple is integrating claude in Xcode, Jetbrains has their own AI.
Microsoft moved first with putting AI into their products then other companies put other AI into their products. Nothing about this seems ironic or in any way surprising.
The irony is that most people don't know how to use the word ironic. Personally I blame Alanis Morissette.
It's ironic that a song about irony contains no actual examples of irony. But since that's ironic, is it actually an appropriately named song?
The song contains many instances of cosmic irony[0], as well as a few instances of other types of irony (e.g. "Well isn't this nice?").

Rain on your wedding day is not cosmic irony or any other kind. It's simply misfortune.
The irony is biting.
Yeah, there's no irony.
Apple and Google will never choose to integrate Microsoft's services or products willingly.
It would have been more surprising if they decided to depend on Microsoft.
The irony is that Microsoft has several cases where it gets there first, only to be left behind when competition catches up.
Bing is irrelevant, VSCode might top in some places, but it is cursor and Claude that people are reaching for, VS is really only used by people like myself that still care about Windows development or console SDKs, otherwise even for .NET people are switching to Rider.
