Microsoft's terms of service classify Copilot as unsuitable for consequential decisions—a legal hedge that exposes the gap between confident marketing and what the company will defend in court.

AI vendors are operating in a liminal space: deploying systems too unreliable to warrant liability while customers treat them as legitimate decision-support tools anyway.
