No, I use Gemini for now. They all have pros and cons, and there are lots of comparisons if you do a search on the web. Why do you think you might want it?

I don't think I do but it keeps trying to get me to use it. What does it do that I would want?

I use ChatGPT find it is amazing. A couple of areas i have found it really helpful when i have not got the foggiest what the consultant surgeon has said, and his follow-up letter not much better. Type into the pc, a second later it is there in plain understandable English. Also found it helpful with some legal stuff from the council, but no doubt with your past background it would make sense.

Forgot to mention, I only have a basic entry to chat and there is no payment. You can subscribe but just haven't got round to it, which I will as I believe it is worth it for the information I get out. But, remember unlike many on here
I do not have the technological skills to find the information on the net, so Chat provides info I would not uncover.

It can suggest ways to improve your answer and also point out any small facts which could help to support your answer. Suppose it will boil down to whether you are open minded enough to try it and then make a judgement.

All I wanted to know was what does it do?

You can find out about that easily.
What does Copilot do?
If you have no need to do any of those things, then forget it. I haven't used Copilot for a long time. There are better alternatives.

It could do. You could ask it to redraft things you write; e.g., if you wanted your replies to be more verbose instead of one-liners all the time, it might be able to help with that. But you don't have to do that, and laconic succinctness is adequate.
