Developer: I can't tell what Nadella's new Copilot improves over the old ones
burny_tech · x · 2026-09-27
After Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's product announcement, a developer publicly questioned what the new Copilot actually improves: 1) How is it better than previous Copilots that added no value? 2) What does it offer that existing AI products don't?
The author admits his gut reaction to the word "Copilot" is that whatever it is will be a complete waste of time — a sentiment of fatigue and skepticism toward big-tech's sameness in AI branding that resonates in dev circles.
