Microsoft’s Milestone Celebration
Imagine turning 50—grizzled, wise, but still full of surprises. That’s exactly what tech giant Microsoft did this week. Instead of resting on its laurels or embarrassing itself with a cringeworthy dance, it unveiled a major upgrade to its CoPilot AI assistant. This new version is not just your average chatbot; it aims to be a full-fledged companion akin to ChatGPT and Google Gemini. With an added memory feature for deeper personalization and the ability to interpret images through smartphone cameras, CoPilot is stepping up its game. Will it stand the test of time like Windows or Word? Only the future holds that answer.

The Rise and Fall of ChatGPT
OpenAI took users on a rollercoaster ride this week with ChatGPT experiencing both highs and lows. Introducing native image generation within ChatGPT marked a game-changing moment—but success quickly turned chaotic when servers buckled under overwhelming demand fueled by Studio Ghibli-inspired art fever online. As debates raged over AI mimicking copyrighted styles too closely, whispers about Deep Reasoning possibly trickling down to free ChatGPT tiers circulated among eager users awaiting more agentic capabilities.
