    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.

      The % of people using Claude Code is minuscule compared to all the french speakers who use claude as a name, not everyone uses or cares or knows about AI coding agents.
