Microsoft says Copilot is for entertainment purposes only
Microsoft’s Copilot terms now explicitly say the service is “for entertainment purposes only,” warning users not to rely on it for important advice and to treat its responses as potentially inaccurate or incomplete. The updated terms, effective October 24, 2025, also clarify coverage across Copilot apps, copilot.microsoft.com, and Copilot interactions inside other Microsoft and third-party apps, while expanding language around Copilot Actions, Labs, shopping, and code of conduct rules.
Hot take: this is Microsoft tightening its legal moat around a consumer AI product that is still being marketed as helpful, but is being formally framed as non-dependable in high-stakes use.
- –The wording is unusually blunt for a mainstream assistant and signals liability management more than product positioning.
- –The term update broadens Microsoft’s control over use cases like shopping and actions, while pushing responsibility back to the user.
- –For builders and users, the practical read is simple: Copilot may be useful, but Microsoft is telling you not to treat it like a trusted advisor.
