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 models’ outputs — that’s what the AI companies say themselves in their terms of service.
TL;DR
- Microsoft's Copilot terms of service, last updated October 24, 2025, classify the AI as being "for entertainment purposes only."
- The terms explicitly warn users that Copilot can make mistakes and should not be relied upon for important advice, advising users to "use Copilot at your own risk."
- A Microsoft spokesperson stated that this "legacy language" is no longer reflective of how Copilot is used and will be updated.
- Other AI companies like OpenAI and xAI also include disclaimers cautioning users against trusting their AI output as the sole source of truth or factual information.
