Copilot users are disappointed because the AI doesn’t work as they thought. SomeRedditorsclaim that the assistant can’t handle basic requests, while others complain about its performance. Also, after reading through the comments, it’s clear that some of us need to learn how to use the tool. After all, it requires a few specific things, such as Windows 11 and the right applications.
Additionally, you might get disappointed by Copilot if you don’t know how to write prompts. The AI assistants can’t do things they don’t understand, and neither can we. So, simple prompts are not their favorite. But, you have a chance to get the answer you’d like.
What is Copilot bad at?
Copilot could improve at some things, such as understanding simple tasks and usingstructured data. On top of that, if you use the free version, you have a limited number of questions per topic. So, it would be best if you learned how to write prompts to get what you’re searching for. Also, according toArxiv, most of the code Copilot generates is vulnerable 40% of the time, and it can be a bit disappointing. However, you can use the GitHub Copilot for thecode scanning autofixfeature.
By the way, Copilot might also disappoint you if you use an older Windows version or another OS. After all, Windows 11 is the one that supports it best. Also, try using the new Outlook if you don’t do it already.
How do I create an AI prompt?
You need to follow a few rules tocreate good AI prompts. The first one is to be very specific about what you want. So, to do this, you can use examples, do’s and don’ts, and details. The second rule is to be careful about the position of your words. Don’t make writing mistakes, and use punctuation. Also, try to be creative and ask the AI for prompt examples. If you learn to write prompts, you can increase your efficiency, and Copilot won’t be that disappointing anymore.
For example:
You can also use the guide fromHarvard University.
Ultimately, there are some negative aspects of Copilot, but they aren’t strong enough to make it disappointing. The AI assistant might be better than other models, but slowly, with all of the new features, it will get there. So, before denigrating it, others should learn how to use it efficiently.
