    Yeah my company enabled the use of copilot with our corporate Microsoft accounts. I don't understand how you can open such a massive can of worms to ALL your users. It's pretty much begging for information to completely leave corporate control. It's absolutely insane.

    I asked copilot how to turn off copilot, and it responded with "It is probably time to change the question topics"

    This is dumb copilot. Smart copilot will just open up tik tok to whatever your brain can’t resist and you’ll forget you even asked.

    Jokes on you I'm immune to propaganda 😹

    Believing you're immune makes you particularly vulnerable, because it may hinder you from noticing that you're wrong. None of us are above deception or manipulation, and to assume otherwise is to let down our guard.

    NAWWWW no way, I am so immune that I 💯% believe that I am immune to COVID, AIDS, and even Assburgers.

    Edit: are people this dumb that I have to put a /s /j on these comments.

    Pretty much the responses I got trying to force it to tell me.

    For most commercial products they offer what they call Copilot with data protection.

    I hate that they are shoving it down everyone's throat but data leakage is a primary company concern that they have addressed.

    Now, how much that is true on the backend is anyone's guess, but they're selling something that they could be held legally accountable for.

    Especially since you can have self hosted versions.

    I mean they've been doing multitenancy in Azure for a while.. I'd be pretty surprised if the data input from copilot was not handled in the same manner.
