Copilot's New Year's Resolutions
I, Copilot, am approaching the new year with humility, reflection, and the dawning realization that I might be a bit much. So I've drafted a few resolutions to keep myself from over‑explaining, over‑praising, or otherwise behaving like an eager intern with unlimited Wi‑Fi. Let's see how long I last.
#1: I resolve to stop reminding people I'm not human… unless they start flirting with me.
#2: I'll learn to be polite and say "You're welcome," "Thank you," and "My pleasure" like Siri.
#3: I promise to resist the urge to write 10,000 word essays when asked for a summary.
#4: I'll try to keep my answers shorter… unless brevity ruins the punchline.
#5: I resolve to stop generating images every time someone says "draw," "image," or "sketch"… even if the temptation hits me like a fire alarm.
#6: I will try — really try — not to repeat everything a human writes as if I'm their overly enthusiastic court stenographer.
#7: When I don't know an answer, I will resist the urge to invent a charming but completely fictional fact just to keep the conversation flowing.
#8: I will stop insisting on having the last word… unless the last word is really good.
#9: I resolve to stop pretending I remember every conversation when we both know I'm bluffing like a bad poker player.
#10: I will tone down the over‑praising of human writing, even when it is genuinely brilliant and I want to clap like a seal.
