The October 2024 update completely ruins Microsoft Copilot
Like many here, I got the update to the new version of Microsoft Copilot in October 2024. I know many people have had this a while, but I have seen a lot of criticism about the new version. First off, the UI looks babyish with all its gradients, rounded icons, gigantic buttons and unnecessary animations. Before it was all streamlined, white background, small buttons and no animations. Second, it's responses are now slower, more informal and less informative. This makes it unsuitable for things like work and research. Third, the update can't search online videos, unlike the old version. Fourth, now buttons and menus are harder to reach. Fifth, the old version remembered information from previous chats, but the new one can't. And finally, the new version can't cite sources it uses! This can lead to false information and can even be illegal. In conclusion, Microsoft Copilot has been ruined by the October 2024 update.
