You are correct. Things have improved a lot. I used the videos because they are funny and explained the phase we have been through.
Copilot is still almost there by the way.

It depends on the Copilot you are talking about :) Microsoft in their infinite wisdom have named every one of their products Copilot :) At some point there was like 20 completely different products that were all called Copilot while doing completely different things.
When I talk about Copilot I am talking about their product GitHub Copilot which is as good as any AI Agent over there because it can intelligently choose the LLM it is using for every task. This agent runs inside the Visual Studio 2026 or VS Code (I prefer the later) and runs Claude Opus 4.7 LLM or Chat GPT 5.4 or a number of other available LLM models:
Copilot said:You’re interacting with M365 Copilot, powered by a GPT‑5–class chat model.
In simple terms:
Product: Microsoft 365 Copilot
Model family: GPT‑5 (latest-generation conversational model available in this environment)
Capabilities:
Advanced reasoning and explanations
Strong performance on technical, analytical, and professional tasks
Integrated with Microsoft-style workflows (documents, analysis, structured output)
This is that I got :)
Yeah... You got a really old Chat GPT model if you compare to what we are using. It is one of the ancient GPT models that was retired in February and is five generations behind the current Chat GPT 5.5 model. And when it comes to GPT it was really behind Claude Opus until 5.3 or even 5.4. Here is when GPT 5 model was retired in GitHub Copilot:
As you can see even 5.1 was retired because it was really bad...
Thanks for the update. I only use co-pilot for work. Fairly limited use as of now for work related stuff, but it is good at research. For personal stuff I mostly use Gemini, and I am fairly happy with it.
PS. It is funny, ironic and realistic that you are saying that a model what was retired in Feb 17, 2026 is 'ancient'! :) This is significant.
It is developing at an incredible speed, and I suspect that the new models are being written by the previous models at this point as humans in coding are basically obsolete other than try to review the changes and try to understand what AI is doing... Microsoft told us in a meeting a few months ago that the latest Xbox code was 98% written by GitHub Copilot without human involvement...
