Microsoft is Working on a Copilot Pro Subscription 9

Android Authority combed through the code of Edge browser (for Android) to find what may be hints for things to come to Copilot: Microsoft has offered its Copilot AI service (formerly Bing Chat) on mobile devices for a while. The service has long been free to use, allowing you to speak to a chatbot, generate AI images, and more. Now, recent Edge browser updates for Android hint at a so-called Copilot Pro option. [...] But what should you expect from this Pro tier? Fortunately, a string also mentions Copilot Pro perks. This includes access to the latest AI models, priority access for quicker answers, and "high-quality" image generation. Update: Microsoft has officially launched Copilot Pro. The subscription provides access to AI-powered features inside Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint alongside priority access to the latest OpenAI models, and the ability to build your own Copilot GPT.

    Good to know. I just made my own AI, it is just as capable as all those AI models. I didn't copy them, I trained my AI on their AI code.

    • Oh, so your AI can answer questions about Hog4PC lighting console? Or Midas sound mixing consoles? Or tell me how to authenticate with Amazon's Cognito using C#? Or how to interpret a medical CCD file?

      Somehow, I doubt YOUR training included all that stuff, and a myriad other things you didn't have time to include in your training, or maybe didn't care about.

      The model is the easy part, the training is the hard part. That's why OpenAI employed tens of thousands of people to help train their AI. I'll bet you d

      • Obviously trained my AI on their trained AI. It's cool though, they themselves say it's perfectly fine to use other people's IP to train an AI.

  • I would have guessed people would have to cough up more dough (aka "Server edition") to get rid of that nuisance, not to get more of it.

    • After I learned it was built into Windows 11 already and it generated images, and I have such a box on a KVM, (for webcam meetings), no matter how hard I tried, it refused to generate the images I prompted it for. YMMV. Maybe it's just me and my own desires, (which tend to conflict with Microsoft's).

    User 1 wants to write a fancy message to User 2, so they feed the AI a bullet list of points to make.
    User 2 gets the message from user 1 and cannot bother reading all the bullshit, so asks co-pilot to summarize it into bullet points.

    Not a waste of money at all :P

    • Plot twist: User 1 got the original list of bullet points from AI, then User 2 got AI to summarise them. I feel this layer of middle management is sort of redundant in all this report writing busywork
  • AFAIK copilot is still a preview, based on the "preview" watermark when I opened it just now. Should they maybe finish the base model first?
