Why the snarky tone? MS Copilot is a mixture of enhanced search, ChatGPT like chat and Dall-E 3 for image generation, but without the need to create an account (only for image generation, I think). I use it at work every day and it is super

Does there have to be a special reason? Being naked or not is something which people do mostly because other people do it (like many other things). It's an inherently unstable system, so to speak, so it's only natural that there a
