It's funny that the subhead frames the failure of Copilot in terms of Gemini's success. Despite the fact that Gemini isn't something I've ever heard anybody mention voluntarily and intentionally using either.
It's like losing to old shoes in a competition to replace forks&knives as dining utensils.
