Microsoft's new Copilot Pro service is receiving a lukewarm reception from users due to performance issues and concerns over its cost. Some users are underwhelmed by the service, with complaints about performance mounting up. Microsoft's relentless promotion of AI and Copilot services may be wearing thin on some users, while others find the technology invaluable. The confusion over the value proposition and the high cost of $30 per user per month are significant concerns, indicating that Microsoft still has work to do to make AI an indispensable productivity tool.

Image Creator by Designer remains free to use and is accessible through Copilot.
