Microsoft Copilot vs ChatGPT: Who became the king?
This gap has come to the fore at a time when microsoft is spending at a record level to strengthen its hold in the world of AI. The company has announced to invest $80 billion in AI-based data centers during its fiscal year 2025. Along with this, hefty salaries and bonuses have also been fixed to retain AI talent. Most of these investments are related to Copilot and the company's generative AI plans. But the truth is that download figures do not lie. Copilot is moving slowly, and the interest of users is also low. One reason for this is quality concerns. Since its launch, Copilot has been considered behind ChatGPT in terms of reasoning, creativity and conversation skills, while both tools are based on the same AI technology, which microsoft has licensed from OpenAI.
In April, on the completion of 50 years of the company, microsoft gave a glimpse of the new version of Copilot, which focused on personalization. AI head mustafa Suleiman said that in the coming time, every user's Copilot will adapt according to his behavior and choice, everyone's style and name will be different. This is the beginning of a future where AI will behave with you like a 'partner'. In this direction, microsoft India's Senior director Bhaskar Basu said in an interview to india Today that Copilot is different from other AI assistants because it gives the user control not only at the interdata-face level but also at the OpenAI platform layer. Users can also create their own Copilot if they want. However, this is the same feature that ChatGPT has already been offering for several months, which raises questions about Microsoft's "difference".
Another complication for microsoft is that Copilot, which it is marketing as a competitor, actually works on OpenAI's GPT model. That is, microsoft is both a customer and a competitor of the company that has created the most downloaded chatbot. Although microsoft has a strong hold in the field of enterprise AI, especially through its Azure cloud and productivity tools, Copilot has still not gained much popularity among general users.
