Microsoft promotes Windows Copilot as a conversational AI that can see, speak, and act on a user’s behalf, but early testing reveals a gap between marketing promises and reality. The assistant struggles to correctly identify objects in images, provides inconsistent answers, and cannot perform many of the tasks it advertises, such as controlling system settings or running simulations. While the technology shows potential for accessibility and future integration, its current performance leaves users frustrated and raises questions about Microsoft’s timeline for a fully functional AI‑driven PC experience.Leggi di più

OpenAI offers three main subscription tiers for ChatGPT: a free tier, ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Pro. The free tier provides limited access to the latest model and restricts features such as image generation and video creation.
