The topic Microsoft put the same disclaimer on Copilot that a psychic uses to avoid getting\u2026<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

For all the complaints people make about AI replacing human skills, there\u2019s another side to it: The rise of AI has also forced humans to develop new skills, specifically in terms of being able to sort useful AI output from incorrect, hallucinated garbage. Over the past couple years, many of us have gotten pretty good at this, and have leaned to make the most of the many limitations we experience with so many AI agents. While the companies behind these projects are similarly aware of the limitations we\u2019re up against, one of them seems to be overcompensating a bit in the legal department, as Copilot users notice some concerning language in Microsoft\u2019s terms of service.<\/p>\n

Anyone using AI for anything even remotely serious should know by now to sanity check the program\u2019s output \u2014 AI will confidently share mistakes as truths, and users need to be vigilant to not take its output at face value. Correspondingly, all the major players make disclaimers to this effect, trying to promote their products\u2019 benefits while also acknowledging their limitations. Google\u2019s Gemini overview is a good example of this, explaining how Gemini does what it does, while also drawing attention to places where it still needs improvement.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s Microsoft. Like many of the other companies doing AI, it likes to advertise all the important tasks Copilot can aid you with, like coming up with new strategies for your business:<\/p>\n

On its face, there\u2019s nothing unusual there \u2014 pretty par for the course with your modern AI platform. We just hope that the business customers Microsoft\u2019s going after with spots like this aren\u2019t reading the full Copilot terms of use (via Tom\u2019s Hardware). Because if they did, they\u2019d see this concerning disclaimer:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

That \u201conly\u201d is doing a whole lot of work there. Microsoft continues:<\/p>\n

Now, that bit actually sounds relatively in line with the disclaimers we\u2019ve seen from other AI firms: Be careful, and verify the correctness of any AI output before acting on it. On its own, we wouldn\u2019t be stopping and thinking twice about that popping up in Copilot\u2019s terms.<\/p>\n

But for whatever reason, Microsoft was compelled to go back and add in what\u2019s basically an \u201cLOL JK\u201d to the entire document.<\/p>\n

Honestly, this is probably just a lawyer feeling the need to overcorrect and cover Microsoft\u2019s liabilities \u2014 they just happened to go much too far in the process, inviting ridicule. If only someone had asked Copilot to scan over the terms and spot any potential embarrassments \u2014 except, as we now know, that\u2019s not what it\u2019s made for!<\/p>\n
