I kinda have to hand it to Microsoft for dogfooding vibecoding with Copilot to such an extent. You can't say they encourage their customers to use a bad solution while doing something different in-house.

This app is a reskinned Groove Music, it was mostly written back in the early Windows 10 days (2014-2017) and long predates Copilot/etc. Even the Windows 11 rebrand as Media Player (2022?) predates that stuff, and it's barely been touched since then.

OP was clearly a joke about Copilot making bad code

it's a reasonable-sounding inference (if your only context is that there's a "new" Media Player and it's taking more memory) that doesn't apply in this particular case.

A joke can be "funny because it's true"

This is just a pointer on how not to sound like Sheldon from TBBT or like Claude Opus 4.8 with thinking set to Max in casual conversation.

Not saying it's better though.
