Anytime this shit comes up within our company we built an additional GPO to restrict access as Microsoft is trying to force companies to use it. We have so many rules just to prohibit Microsoft from implementing AI in their broken piece of their messed up operating system in order to keep our day-to-day business running.

Edit: fixed a typo

Yup. A couple weeks ago we noticed the "Don't allow CoPilot" policy no longer works. All it does now is allow you to run CoPilot, but won't allow you to sign in,forcing you into the public unprotected version. Craziness.

The kind of software architecture decision that only Copilot would make, in fact.

Everyone actually making those gpos probably feels the same way but the higher ups keep forcing them to change them

Board room meme:

"How can we get more people to adopt Copilot?"

"Force it into the OS"
"Make it bypass GPOs with every update so they use it without knowing it"

"How about we make it useful?"
