copilot mode

Describing someone who has fully bought into AI-assisted living — specifically the Microsoft Copilot / AI-as-sidekick ideology. If you're copilot-pilled, you've stopped fighting the robot helpers and started leaning in hard. You let AI write your emails, plan your schedule, summarize your meetings, and pick your lunch. It's not that you can't function alone; it's that you've accepted the future and it has a chat interface. Used with a mix of admiration and gentle mockery depending on context.

When an AI assistant, helpful friend, or anyone in a supportive sidekick role completely drops the ball at the worst possible moment. A copilot fail is not just bad advice — it's the specific sting of having trusted your co-captain and watching them steer straight into a dumpster. Could be your AI writing completely nonsense code, your navigator sending you to a closed road, or your bestie forgetting to confirm the reservation. The betrayal is extra sharp because you literally handed over the wheel.

The practice of squeezing every possible drop of productivity out of AI copilot tools — stacking prompts, chaining automations, and refusing to do anything manually that a bot could theoretically handle. Someone who's copilot-maxxing has their AI writing their texts, responding to emails, generating their work slides, and probably picking their Spotify playlist. It's optimization culture merged with tech dependency, worn proudly by people who believe human labor is for suckers. The grindset, but make it algorithmic.
