    When people say they use copilot, I no longer have any idea which copilot they're talking about. Most of the time, neither do they.

      If a contractor told me they use copilot I wouldn’t trust their judgment anymore.

        five years from now, you'll start preferring contractors who use copilots, but i'm sure of it.

          I would prefer contractors who use Humane AI pin

        Well, most of us are no longer able to work without AI.

        Not because we can't do the job without AI, rather because there are evaluation requirements for using AI on the job no matter what, and those that can't "upskill" themselves are invited to search something else.

          AI assisted work is fine, Using any form of Microsoft Copilot is not.

            Interesting distinction, Claude is fine then.
