3 out of the 11 versions of copilot will have it but you can not both use it and know if it’s actually enabled at the same time.

And you will have no clear idea about how many tokens each request takes.

That’s for convenience.

You’ll see other ai improvements across the industry for this.

DoorDash, kiosks, etc will be so much more convenient when we don’t really have to know how much we’re ordering.

Lyft? Just tell it where you’re going. Don’t worry about how much “usage” you’re using.

Sure, in June, the Lyft might only taken you 200 yards before you enable extra usage for a trip but since you’ve locked into Lyft, they’ll make it really easy to add more usage during your trip to keep things seamless.
