Overview
- Microsoft said it will change the “for entertainment purposes only” line in Copilot’s Terms of Use and described it as legacy wording from when Copilot launched inside Bing.
- The clause primarily covers the standalone app and web versions of Copilot and does not automatically apply to Microsoft 365 Copilot used at work unless noted.
- The warning clashes with Microsoft’s push to market Copilot as a productivity aide built into Windows 11 and core Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
- Multiple reports indicate Microsoft is scaling back some Windows 11 integrations as it retools its Copilot rollout and updates the terms language.
- Other AI companies include liability warnings about errors, but they do not label their tools as “entertainment,” a contrast that has fueled public criticism and user confusion.
