Notepad now supports AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite on Copilot+ PCs, with no subscription required. If you have a subscription, you can seamlessly switch between local and cloud models based on your needs. If you’re not signed in or don’t have a subscription, you can use the local model to accomplish your tasks. For now, these features support English only, making premium AI more accessible and flexible for everyone.

Happy that I switched to Linux
Ah yes because who would want useful free features? Not you!
People love free and useful features. Cramming AI into notepad is not useful in the slightest. This is just one more unnecessary AI interaction platform in an os already chock full of them.
So AI isn’t useful in the slightest? ChatGPT? Claude?
You know you don’t have to use AI in it, right?
How is putting AI in a basic text editor useful? Or is this a situation where you are just defending the concept of the usefulness of shoving bots in every single piece of software possible?
AI has some useful things it can do, but many more useless things, like just being shoved into something to try to mine even more of your data under the guide of 'usefulness'.
No, I just have to see the prompt every time I use the software just so lazy mouth breathers don't have to expend the mental energy to go to another app to ask their mental pacifier to do all the hard work for them.
Because writing/editing text is the most basic use of LLMs. Pretty self explanatory.
This doesn’t mine your data. Where are you guys all getting that from? The screenshot even explicitly shows it’s on-device.

Microsoft mines your data while in Windows, why do you think this will be different.
And your device data mines you. Are you really this naive?
You made the claim that it does mine your data, so the onus is on you to provide a source :)
Let me ask you this: do you seriously believe that Microsoft send everything you type back to their servers? Like do you honestly believe that?
Do you regularly throw out strawman hypotheticals that are only tangentially related? Because the main thing I believe right now is that you're not really worth conversing with.
I never said or implied they did send everything that you type back, and it tells me that you either don't understand what we're talking about (data mining) or you're not participating in good faith. I let earlier ones slide, but I'm done with you.
Good day.
Showing that you don’t even know what a strawman argument is lol. You guys really need to learn your limits if you want anyone to actually care about what you say.
