    This is the first time a corporation has spoiled a word for me.

    "Copilot" is a term like any other and when I first heard the name, I thought it was an alright, if uninspired, choice.

    Now I can't hear the word "Copilot" used in any context without having negative feelings due to Microsoft's saturation campaign.

    Speaking of this, I also wonder about present and future people named "Claude", a mainstream name in some parts of the world.

      How often were you using copilot before hand?

        More often than I was using the words Gemini, Claude or Alexa.
