I keep seeing this everywhere, and I had to go to Great lengths to remove co-pilot from my windows 11 on my current PC once I upgraded. Had to use a bloatware removal script to forcibly get that thing the hell off there. Now I’m seeing ads on Amazon and other places about PCs being bundled with copilot AI. I have tried using co-pilot myself, it is completely worthless. That thing is a hot piece of garbage, and somehow, works even worse than chat GPT. Like, that is truly impressive, because Chat GPT has degraded in quality over time and now they are in the news often for various controversies, the latest being a complaint about how they can’t survive without stealing copyrighted content…
Who in their right mind is hoping to get a copilot powered PC???
Setting aside this particular situation and software package and speaking more-generally as to preinstalled bloatware…
People have been buying PCs for a long time with bloatware on it offsetting the price of the PC, so I’m pretty sure that people either are fine with bloatware or unaware of it sufficiently not to take it into account when buying a PC.
