I was in a chatroom and joked about them adding “AI” to notepad. Someone in the room was like “wtf did they seriously?!” and I said “oh no, I don’t use Windows 11 but there’s no way lawl”
Someone else sent a screenshot of their fucking AI in notepad
Yeah, Microsoft does some wild shit. Nothing they do surprises me at this point. I still remember how when the WWW was starting to get really big, some MS engineers decided to turn their web browser into the Windows file manager.
You could open the file manager, enter a URL instead of a local path, and suddenly it’s a web browser. I just thought it was a neat trick back then. It’s only in retrospect that I realise how dumb it is.
Tbh, imo its a good user feature to have. Makes accessing the internet less big and less of a hurdle for people to learn to use the net. Something that welcome/needed then.
However, from a technical standpoint its utter hell to maintain, keep safe/secure and was at that point a nono haha
( i say at that point, because now webviews are bloody everywhere )

They added AI to Paint, too.
What does it do there? Ai content aware fill like in photoshop?
Yes. Also, selecting an object in an image, or using a prompt to edit your drawing.
Oh eeeuw. That aint paint boys haha
pAIn
You can use the ai to write a notepad without ai

Oddly enough, the reverse isn’t bad. It makes sense to use a webbrowser to open HTML files, even if those are saved on your harddrive.
