With 68% of consumers reporting using AI to support their decision making, voice is making this easier. [1]

Does anybody actually believe that 68% of consumers use or even want Copilot? But they included a source for this very generous assertion at the bottom of the page:

[1] Based on Microsoft-commissioned online study of U.S. consumers ages 13 years of age or older conducted by Edelman DXI and Assembly, 1,000 participants, July 2025.

Oh yeah, that's compelling: US consumers, 13 years old and older. An entire thousand of them!

So the only question I have left is which junior high principal Microsoft "compensated" for this survey, and what happened to the 320 summer school attendees who said fuck you, no anyway.

Yeah, I’d believe it. Outside of anti-AI circlejerks people like AI, especially ones like ChatGPT, and especially if it is available right at their fingertips. It’s quickly becoming a part of everyday life and processes.

The anti-AI people need to start accepting that today and every day after it is going be the day that AI plays the smallest part in humanity’s future. The genie is out of the bottle and it’s never going back in. The sooner they can accept that and let go of the hate and see it for what it is - a useful tool to help you - the better and less angry their lives will be.

There is a vast difference between people using/liking AI and people using/liking Copilot.

[–] FreedomAdvocate -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not really. Copilot is AI, and people will be made aware that it’s available everywhere in Windows.

I'm not sure what your point is. There are many people that like AI but don't like Copilot. So a statistic of people liking AI is not equivalent to a statistic of people liking Copilot. That's like saying people love my baking because people like baking in general, even though I didn't ask anyone about my baking in particular.

Oh are there? Where’s your source?

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Any primary school math textbook will do as a source and tell you not all rectangles are squares, even if a square is a rectangle.

So what’s your point? That not everyone likes copilot? No shit. My point was that there isn’t a “vast difference” between using/liking copilot and “AI” as you said there is.
