Thanks for the advice to test out the Copilot AI integration into Windows.
I've been using it all day to see how it differs from Google's AI.

One nice advantage of Copilot is a login isn't needed to Microsoft.
That's useful because when you're on VPN, the Google AI stops working.

Another nice advantage of Copilot is it doesn't seem to use a web browser.
The Google AI uses a web browser.

But the Copilot GUI is slow when I ask it to spellcheck a document.
Very slow compared to pasting that same document into the Google AI.

Instead of displaying essentially all at once, it teases you with the
display, until finally it's all there (if the document is a page or two).

Also, Copilot has this strange propensity to ask ME dumb questions at the
end of each response. The Google AI doesn't ask me dumb questions.

Copilot also guesses what questions I'm going to ask and presents those
dumb questions below the query line, which, I guess, is fine for some.

What else do you notice that's weird about Copilot compared to Google?
(That's an example of the dumb questions that Copilot has been asking me.)
