For those of you who don't remember Clippy, let me assure you that Clippy was... annoying. At first glance it appears that Mico will be no less so. "Mico is now being turned on by default in Copilot's voice mode, where you'll also have the option to turn the bouncing orb off." Ack. More, there's a Learn Live version of Mico that is "a Socratic tutor that 'guides you through concepts instead of just giving answers.'" Trust me, when I ask an AI something, I want an answer, not a dialogue about how my previous intuitions about the subject were wrong. And the Learn Live version of Mico distinguished by - get this - its glasses. Because of course glasses = teacher nerd, right? Related: Copilot rolls out group chats.
