Why I'm Leaving Copilot for Gemini
Computerworld, Wednesday, June 10th, 2026
A tech journalist switches from Microsoft Copilot to Google Gemini for personal use after repeated failures.
Contributing editor Preston Gralla details his decision to abandon Microsoft Copilot for personal projects in favor of Google Gemini. He highlights three failures: Copilot's inability to diagnose an iPhone texting issue that Gemini resolved in 30 seconds, inaccurate historical information about 1870s Paris neighborhoods, and incorrect guidance about public pool hours. While Gralla will keep using Copilot professionally for his Computerworld work, he argues Gemini's superior accuracy and helpfulness make it his preferred choice for personal research and advice.
