Overview
- Microsoft says the “entertainment purposes only” line on Copilot’s Terms of Use is legacy wording from its early Bing search companion and will be changed in a future update.
- The current Terms of Use, last updated on October 24, 2025, warn that Copilot can make mistakes, tell users not to rely on it for important advice, and state that use is at the user’s own risk.
- The terms page notes that these specific conditions do not apply to Microsoft 365 Copilot apps unless stated, covering instead the standalone app and browser-based Copilot used by consumers.
- Critics on social media argue the clause undercuts Microsoft’s pitch of Copilot as a workplace assistant, highlighting confusion as the Copilot brand spans many different products.
- Microsoft continues to market Copilot for productivity, yet company disclosures showed only about 3% of customers were paying for Copilot as of December 31, 2025.
