Type of issue Other (describe below) Description It seems someone snuck in a blatant ad for Copilor into the docs: Source file edit adegeo: Convert issue to doc issue format so that it's linked to ...
@ChairmanMeow Sure, but in this scenario you already have the relevant page of documentation open in front of you, so why would you *want* to know that Copilot exists?
But that’s not what the section does, it highlights how to use what is being documented with Copilot, in case you’re not sure how to prompt it correctly.
Perhaps true, the value of LLM prompting instructions are probably limited.
I disagree with the premise that requiring instructions on how to prompt Copilot for something eliminates the reason for Copilot to exist. Copilot is a tool and just like any other tool it may require some instructions for someone who is new to it. You and I might find it intuitive, but Joe Shmo might not.
@ChairmanMeow the interface for copilot is “you ask it to do a thing in plain language and it (sometimes) does it”, I’m sure joe shmoe is more than capable of handling that

@ChairmanMeow ok, but again,
There is no reason to ask copilot to do this relatively simple task if you have the docs open in front of you
If you have to look up instructions for how to prompt copilot to do something then there is no reason for copilot to exist
Just give me one realistic scenario where this information helps someone other than Microsoft’s KPI tracking executives
