I use Microsoft's Copilot at work (they pay for a license). It's helpful for seeing trends in my emails and reading Event Logs. I find it easier to ask Copilot what an event log is, what it means, and if the same logs are coming from multiple servers that to do it all by hand. I don't have time to manually check it all out; I just need to get it working again.

I've used Copilot a couple of times to help me write zsh scripts, since I don't have a lot of experience with it. What Copilot excels at is Microsoft products (e.g. Excel formulas, PowerShell syntax). It's much faster and easier to tell Copilot that I want to accomplish something specific in Azure, Entra, Intune, SharePint, etc. and then ask it where in the interface I need to go to accomplish it.

I'll always use the #AIGenerated or #AIAssisted tags on blog posts where appropriate.
