I’ll show you how it helps me get the most out of my daily PC use.
Are AI Assistants Really Useful?
In 2024, we’re frewuently told that AI assistants should make using our tech a breeze.
Microsoft’s offering,Copilot, is being put on every PC Microsoft can.
But honestly, using AI can be hit or miss.
That part’s cool.
That being said, when AI works, it truly works wonders.
Its quick to react too.
However, its not perfect.
There are still a few bugs that need sorting out.
Note that these four tests are important to how I use Copilot.
However, everyone uses AI tools differently.
You may have different criteria for Copilot, and that’s OK!
This test is designed to assess how Copilot handles multitasking, which requires several steps.
During my testing, Copilot easily executed basic commands.
However, it struggled with following complex instructions and often got them wrong.
Copilot excelled and helped me generate new artwork, and remove backgrounds.
However, it struggled with generating text, like nearly all AI artwork tools.
I presented Copilot with some intentionally broken Go code and asked it to fix it for me.
For example: vocally asking it “Snap my windows” works well.
It’s an excellent feature and one that I hope gets more publicity.
Aside from the Notepad integration, I also love how easy it is to manage parameters with Copilot.
No longer do I need to dig around the confusing Windows 11 prefs area to find a setting.
Lastly, I enjoy the Copilot integration with Paint.
