While Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella last year compared the significance of Copilot’s launch to that of historic technologies like the PC and the internet, Benioff said in an X post Thursday that Copilot is not worth the hype (to put it lightly).

“When you look at how Copilot has been delivered to customers, it’s disappointing. It just doesn’t work, and it doesn’t deliver any level of accuracy,” he wrote.

Benioff also called Copilot “Clippy 2.0” and implied it would be as much of a failure as Microsoft’s retired paper-clip assistant meant to help users craft Word documents and save documents among other things.

“I have yet to find anyone who’s had a transformational experience with Microsoft Copilot or the pursuit of training and retraining custom LLMs,” he wrote.

Copilot was released by Microsoft last year to help users be more productive by assisting in the creation of PowerPoints, Excel documents, and more using artificial intelligence.
