What is the point of the drive to "shove copilot in everything"?
I was given a paper based list of upcoming events today and instead of entering them all by hand thought "perhaps Copilot can do that seeing as I can't get rid of the button in Outlook for Android".
Nope. First it can only work with documents (word/pdf/etc.) so scan it to pdf, it correctly parsed the events, could see where I had conflicts, but can't write toy calendar. Ok, let's generate an .ics...
