    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.

      Perhaps try pronouncing it "Copy lot", in honor of how they were planning to harvest their training data by recording customers' screens.

      Facetiously, of course.
