🦔Microsoft's Copilot terms of service state that Copilot is for entertainment purposes only, that it can make mistakes and may not work as intended, and that users should not rely on it for important advice. The terms also explicitly state that Microsoft makes no warranty or representation of any kind about Copilot, including that its responses won't infringe on copyrights, trademarks, or privacy rights. Users are solely responsible if they choose to publish or share Copilot's responses.
My Take
This is the same product Microsoft is embedding into Word, Excel, Outlook, and GitHub, selling to enterprises for $30 per user per month, and that just froze hiring in its cloud division to fund. The terms say entertainment purposes only while the sales pitch says productivity multiplier. Those two things cannot both be true at the same time, and the one that matters legally is the one buried in the terms of service that almost nobody reads before deploying it across their organization. Any company using Copilot to generate code, contracts, or customer-facing content and then publishing that output owns every consequence of doing so. Microsoft has made that very clear in writing.
