>"I have chosen not to use Microsoft Copilot Premium because, in practice, it does not meet my expectations for capability, flexibility, or overall quality for the type of technical and analytical work I perform. While Copilot’s tight integration with the Microsoft ecosystem may sound appealing at a high level, it creates a significant limitation in real-world use. Copilot is effectively locked into Microsoft’s tooling, and Microsoft places strict limits on third-party integrations. As a result, workflows that rely on best-in-class external tools or modern AI-integrated platforms cannot leverage Copilot, forcing users toward Microsoft-branded replacements that are often less mature, less feature-rich, and more constrained. From my experience, Copilot consistently feels like a watered-down implementation rather than a leading AI platform, and it does not keep pace with broader innovation occurring in the AI space. This materially reduces its usefulness and makes it difficult to justify incorporating it into my daily workflow.

>In addition, I have serious concerns around privacy, trust, and psychological safety when using a company-managed AI system. Effective use of AI requires candid exploration, incomplete ideas, and unfiltered thinking that are not representative of final work products. When AI usage is managed by the organization and chat logs may be retained or reviewed, it creates a barrier to using the tool openly and effectively. I believe my work should be evaluated on outcomes and delivered results, not on intermediate thought processes or experimental dialogue used to arrive there. Knowing that internal AI interactions could be visible discourages full utilization and introduces unnecessary risk and self-censorship. For these reasons, I strongly prefer not to use Copilot in its current form, as it limits both productivity and the freedom required to use AI as an effective problem-solving tool."
