Their target is not coders, it is the professional world who do 90% of their work in Office applications, like me. A $200/m model absolutely does not fly when rolled out to entire corporations. It needs to be a $20/user/month product.
But I agree, it sucks. It is the only AI we are able to use at work and for tasks that it should be good at (compare comment sheets against a deliverable register and assign to specific packages) and it just can’t do it. It can read the spreadsheet and understand them just fine but outputs are garbled nonsense.
Copilot is actually significantly more reliable at technical tasks with SQL or C# than others, i've found. Do we have different use cases?
Copilot seems to hit the technical level I'm asking about much more reliably. It keeps a more grounded general semantic model.
You might be using different copilots since there are approximately three different Microsoft copilot products
Are you using the one that's part of Microsoft 365?
the copilot.microsoft.com one, and the Visual Studio one

That isn't possible with the technology right now and it will not change. Multimodal computer use and long context for high quality outputs are expensive.
This is like complaining about buying an automobile because it's more expensive than a horse.
