Copilot is ‘for entertainment purposes only,’ according to Microsoft’s terms of use
AI skeptics aren’t the only ones warning users not to unthinkingly trust the results of models – the AI companies themselves say so in their terms of service.
Take Microsoft, that is currently focused on getting business customers to pay for Copilot. But it is also discussed on social media Copilot Terms of Usewhich appear to have been last updated on October 24, 2025.
“Copilot is intended for entertainment purposes only,” the company warned. “It may make mistakes and it may not work as intended. Do not rely on Copilot for important advice. Use Copilot at your own risk.”
A Microsoft spokesperson told PCMag that the company will update what they describe as “legacy language.”
“As the product has evolved, that language no longer reflects the way Copilot is used today and will be changed in our next update,” the spokesperson said.
Tom’s Hardware noticed that Microsoft isn’t the only company using this kind of disclaimer for AI. Both, for example OpenAI And xAI warn users not to rely on their output as “the truth” (to quote xAI) or as “a sole service of truth or factual information” (OpenAI).
