No explanation of what it is, just sitting there.
Well - it is an AI assistant, or at least pretending to be. Or is it just Cortona without a voice?

As an example, I wanted a chart with the CPI index overlayed with real wages. So I told it that/
It returned with a 3 paragraph instruction on two sources where you can get that data, and then how to use excel to make the chart. Instead of just showing me the chart.
I Googled the exact same phrase - and got an image of the chart. But, Google didn't provide a customizable chart.
The difference between the two - is Google gave me the chart I wanted.
Copilot told me how I could make it myself using live data from a government site. Therefore fully customizable.
Both useful actually.
