OpenAI has closed a yawning gap in its ChatGPT subscription pricing with a new $100 per month Pro plan that slots between the $20 per month Plus plan and $200 per month Pro plan.

Microsoft has just replaced the Copilot button with a pen icon. In addition, the company has removed mentions of AI in the Settings menu and has placed the option to disable the AI-powered writing tools within the "Advanced features" section.
The company first announced that it was dialing back its Copilot branding last month, most likely in response to all the criticisms against the AI assistant. It's not very well-liked, with people complaining that Microsoft is forcing them to use the assistant inside all its apps and that Copilot doesn't provide a consistent experience across different applications. "You will see us be more intentional about how and where Copilot integrates across Windows," said Windows and Devices EVP Pavan Davuluri. Microsoft also promised to remove "unnecessary Copilot entry points," starting with Not
