You're becoming boring. If you so love being a product just so you can speak to your windows to do all the things you "manually" would need too long to do: Go ahead. If you see progress here and awesome innovation: Be my guest. Don't forget to install the chatgpt-browser too :)
If you love being stuck in the dark ages and hating all innovation and new tech, go for it.
lol, if you'd knew how my "dark-age" houses look...embrace more of these "innovations" and get some alexas and rings! It's the pinnacle of tech. Besides copilot, obviously :)
So you understand how having integrations with different systems works, and the benefits it provides...........but can't understand that the same thing applies to AI built into an OS?
Amazing.
You are incredible...if you see a worthy value to sacrifice privacy to do "all os-stuff by voice", then go for it. Even if it'd be a local LLM I couldn't think of one single scenario where this might be remotely handy. Can you? Or are you just antagonizing out of boredom?
I literally gave you one - HDR toggling. You disregarded it because you didn't want there to be any reasons.
Here's another - you could ask copilot to check your emails for an invite to a party that you are expecting, add the party to your calendar, create an item on your to-do list to get a present, and forward the invite to your partner.
How's that? Is that not something that could be useful?
As to the other example: Sure, useful. To people who just don't care about privacy (Which is kinda weird from someone with the nick "freedomadvocate"). As MS should not have access to my mails, my calender or my to-do-list. And especially not my contacts :-) Besides you're just assuming one would exclusively use MS-products to do that. Try that shit with non-ms-products and it becomes just a waste of time.
But for people unable to do so "normally" or who would save tremendous amounts of time there might be a good use. But that's what i said at the start. Very niche use-case.
Seriously? Because not everything supports HDR lol
If you know the keyboard shortcut, sure. With a mouse how do you do it in a second while you're in a game?
Great! So there we have it, you recognise that you were wrong. We got there in the end, hooray!
How exactly do you think your privacy is being eroded? It's all on-device and you have privacy settings to control what MS can learn from.
"MS" don't have to, just copilot on your device, without any feedback to MS.
AI can already interact with third party products.
I never switched it off and never had problems in any content. Weird 😊
It'd be not the wisest move to toggle it while in a game. And maybe I'd need two seconds, possibly even three or four. A worthy price for privacy in my book
Nonsense. I said from the beginning there are niche-usecases. Those don't invalidate all arguments per se
And here's where you're seriously wrong. It might be local only for simple things like file-search (doesn't mean your voice-data isn't sent for "performance and quality assurance" reasons). Most stuff is or will, obviously, be cloud-based. They wouldn't put billions into that just so that regular Joe from accounting can open office faster. They do it for profit
Yeah sure. Some features are local only. IF you have a compatible NPU in your machine. If not then it'll be cloud too. The data on what is local only is freely accessible.
Some ai with some 3rd party products. Surely never all with everything. Also we're talking about copilot only.
