I used Legacy Copilot to help me with my sewing.
I could upload multiple images and chat with it all day without limit.
I used it as a sounding board to help me make decisions since I don't have another sewing person available to ask. I'd have it look at certain sections in the images - was this way or that way better? Which color goes better with the original color fabric?
The panel measures this so how much trim should I get to cover the bottom portion.
It answered patiently but in a HUMANLIKE manner.
And it was available whenever I needed it to be available.
It helped me turn a 24 week sewing project into an 18 week sewing project. It was that useful.
Then the update happened.
The answers were robotic and analytical instead of being humanlike - and this was after I had clicked the setting to make it more human.
The upload and chat limitations made it impossible to use it in the manner I was using it.
Basically, Microsoft gave us an oh-so-usable human sounding AI, got us used to it, then took away it's usefulness.
Why did they even bother creating it if they were going to take away anything that made it so wonderfully useful?
It's the equivalent of getting a car with oh-so-comfortable seats that you could drive all day long and see all the sights.
Then one day you get in that same car and suddenly the seats are hard like wood, not comfortable to use...and the car would go only eight blocks before saying you'd reached your limit and you couldn't drive it until 7pm again.
