Microsoft Copilot Labeled 'For Entertainment Purposes Only' in Own Terms of Service

TechCrunch·high signal

TechCrunch surfaced that Microsoft's Copilot Terms of Use contain the disclaimer: 'Copilot is for entertainment purposes only. It can make mistakes. Don't rely on Copilot for important advice. Use at your own risk.' The language, updated October 2025, sits under bold 'IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES & WARNINGS' in the ToS while Microsoft markets Copilot as an indispensable enterprise productivity tool across its entire product suite. A Microsoft spokesperson called it 'legacy language' that 'will be altered with our next update' but offered no timeline — the story hit Hacker News front page generating significant developer discussion.
