😬Microsoft Copilot's 'Entertainment Only' Disclaimer Goes Viral
Copilot's 'Entertainment Only' Disclaimer Stuns Users
TL;DR
Microsoft's Copilot terms of service included a for entertainment purposes only disclaimer that went viral, clashing with its $30/month enterprise marketing.
A disclaimer in Microsoft Copilot's terms of service stating the tool is for entertainment purposes only and should be used at your own risk went viral on social media in early April 2026. The language sharply contradicts Microsoft's aggressive marketing of Copilot as a serious enterprise productivity tool, priced at up to $30 per user per month. Microsoft attributed the disclaimer to legacy phrasing from Copilot's origins as a Bing Chat companion, stating the language is no longer reflective of how Copilot is used today and will be updated.
