You're right that their search and indexing tech is proprietary. My "middleman" comment was referring only to the final generation model (GPT-4, Claude, etc.), which is sourced from other providers (plus their own internal Sonar model).
My preference is to use the synthesis models directly, but I concede that calling the entire service a "middleman" wasn't entirely accurate.

I haven't used it for creative stuff as much so I can't comment on that. I assume it would do as well as other chat bots.
I use both but for different things. Copilot for questions while I'm browsing (since it has direct access to what I'm viewing in Edge) and for troubleshooting computer issues. I use ChatGPT more for philosophical research, writing assistance, and image generation. I like the convenience of Copilot, but ChatGPT's interface makes it better for long-term organization of chat histories which is important for research/writing activities.
am I the only one who likes copilot? I'm pretty sure it's just like a front end for chat GPT but it's free and in some ways I like it better
I like Copilot a lot as well. It is a front end for ChatGPT but I find that its personality or presentation style is more direct and concise than using ChatGPT directly.

In the end i got a $1/mo promo email for PP so I'm using that for now.
