looking at the way copilot was rolled out at Microsoft, none of this is particularly surprising.

early on, they shoehorned LLMs into most of their products in the least thoughtful way possible — I guess leadership thought it best to move quietly for first-mover advantage.

I remember looking at copilot enterprise pricing at that time and thinking “this is delusional.”

and it still is! $31.50 per user, per month… that is more than most other LLM “pro” subscriptions. the value prop just never made sense when the outputs tend to be worse than what you get using ChatGPT.
