With today’s update to Windows 11, Microsoft is bringing the power of Copilot and new AI-powered experiences to apps like Clipchamp, Paint, Photos, and more.
“most personal”
- still can’t change logo color in taskbar
- still can’t change taskbar size
- still have a fixed size start menu
- no option to revert to old right-click menu
fuck microsoft
these are all cut windows 10 features, in case you couldn’t tell. usability took a hit with windows 11
Paint and Notepad getting AI updates is really funny to me. I’m curious how the Natural Language Narrator will handle tonal and pitch-accent languages.
Most personal? Bullshit.
The recent updates that attempt to force backups to OneDrive is about as anti-personal as it gets. Not only does it try to get me to duplicate data, it potentially could move sensitive data “to the cloud”. Fuck. That.
I don’t need AI on my desktop. An OS should be the minimal required amount of software needed to install and run other apps (including AI garbage) if I choose to do so.
Don’t get me wrong! AI has had some significant improvements lately and that is a good thing. However, I firmly believe that Copilot will eventually go the way of Cortana when this current AI bubble slows down. AI/ML is here to stay, but trying to couple it with everything to see what sticks is annoying.
We are in the Clippy phase of AI right now. Tone it down a hair, MS.
