Copilot is ‘for entertainment purposes only,’ according to Microsoft’s terms of use

Microsoft's Copilot terms of use describe the AI assistant as being "for entertainment purposes only," warning users not to rely on it for important advice. The clause, last updated October 2025, has drawn social media criticism given Microsoft's aggressive push to sell Copilot to corporate customers. A Microsoft spokesperson acknowledged the language is outdated and said it will be updated. Other AI companies like OpenAI and xAI have similar disclaimers cautioning users not to treat AI outputs as factual truth.
