Nobody uses notepad the way Microsoft thinks people use notepad.

That's what the article is about

As if the new notepad wasn't already enough of a downgrade.

First, they came for Wordpad, and I did not speak out--because I did not use Wordpad...

It assists with refining your writing by rephrasing your sentences, modifying your tone, and tweaking the length of your text based on your preferences.

I don't remember when was the last time I wrote a full sentence in Notepad yet alone needed an Ai redaction. Because it's a fucking notepad! It's for writing notes not essays!

Classic windows L. Come to the light side come to the linux master race.

well cause the more software that has AI the more ways Microsoft has of collecting very personal data from you without your conscious content. They will likely be privy to whatever you write there even if you don't really use the AI feature.

Please put AI in my toilet too. Please I am begging.

I've heard of Mench on a Bench but never Robotty on the Potty

you are joking but I am sure that will come too, toilet AI doing health checks based on the color and consistency of your poo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

It’s gonna be real confused with the amount of beets I eat

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

And the collected data will be sold to every type of insurance provider you have.

health checks based on the color and consistency of your poo

That's already a thing. I am talking about LLM in Toilet LOL.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

not in the form of a camera staring at your butthole from your household toilet though.

AI will never come for vim!

The fuck? This must be on Win 11. My Notepad still has to be told whether to search Down or Up, just like in 1990.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

As it ahould be!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

Enshitification will continue until moral improves.

That’s LLM bullshit, sir.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Imitation Intelligence, captain.

Why are they adding this to Notepad rather than Word?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Enterprise would riot if they did.

They might do it later, but as it stands, this isn't the old notepad, and gets used by a good bit more than just Enterprise users, so they can stick their AI into it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

OP must be an AI

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

I'd guess the codebase that keeps Word running is so convoluted by now they have trouble shoehorning it in.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Why, yes, I believe I will gladly pay for your AI Notepad bullshit, Microsoft! Sign me right the fuck up.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Oh my God, AI and a subscription model. Kill me now.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

Of course subscription

Didn't you know that AI can only run on servers?

/S, of course
