Who is "they" here? Microsoft?
I think they're doing just fine financially.
The particular team is burning money to run Copilot, and this new feature will burn money faster. Microsoft is mega profitable and happy to do this in the short-term, but they're banking on a better solution in the long run.
I also specifically asked if Copilot was nerfed, and all the employee said was (paraphrasing): "Some people have run benchmarks and found it is worse than a year ago"
It's GPT itself that's shittier. All of these cloud AI platforms are very expensive to run. These are both well-known and you definitely didn't have to talk to "Microsoft" to make that conclusion.
