It’s to make it easier for the end user to do what they want to. People are best at communicating by talking and writing, so having the ability to get things done using natural language is kinda the holy grail.
Being able to summarise/edit/create documents/images/videos, automate tasks, change settings, etc by a simple conversation is an end user dream.
This is what people are currently doing right? people are not writing mails anymore, this just became too time consuming.
At the same time this may be the limit of the current AI models. Me wanting to configure something on my computer that can be Googled and the AI does this for me on verbal prompt is kind of stupid but people are stupid.
The real danger with this is total surveillance of your activity and possibly making you and your office job obsolete. At least they are attempting this.

How is that stupid? Isn’t that the kind of things that everyone should want? “Hey copilot turn off HDR” is a lot easier than remembering the 4 or 5 button shortcut, or opening the settings menu and finding it, isn’t it? Why would anyone think this is stupid?

This isn’t work related, and the enterprise versions of windows all have very strict controls over this stuff where microsoft do not ever get the data.

How many misunderstandings happen because people are bad at both writing and talking?
The answer is, a great deal.
Your answer is nonsense.
There is no real use case for the user. There are only use cases for the company.

I’d say there would be a great benefit for a lot of e.g. disabled people who can’t use the traditional inputs. Not saying that as a pro-ai/pro-win argument. Just that there actually will be good use-cases.

That’s not a use case for users. That’s a use case for a very specific sub group who likely weren’t using the OS at all. Not saying it’s not good they would be able to if that works for them, which I doubt.
Its still not a reason to foist it onto all of us

Didn’t say that was a reason to gulp it down. Just that the use cases aren’t zero.
Knew a quadriplegic that gamed with her mouth on windows. A really well working, integrated “ai” would’ve dramatically improved her life and saved her hundreds of thousands for all the equipment and tech-guys. And yes, that’s a very limited use case, but would allow poorer disabled people to also use a computer better.
But that’s really all good reasons I can come up with. For all else noone needs the shit baked into the OS.

Ok you’re so far down the anti-AI hole that you’re just being ridiculous. No point even bothering. “Disabled people don’t use Windows” lol One of the dumbest hot takes I’ve heard in a while.

Showing your ignorance and short-sightedness right here. Just because you can’t see uses, despite them being literally provided to you, doesn’t mean there aren’t any. It means that you can’t think of them or understand them. That’s a “you” problem.

The fact AI has yet to do anything other than increase costs, d Increase the time taken to ship anything, decrease trust and democratise us all footing the bullshit the data centres and electricity…
I’d say it’s an all of us problem and a fucking stupid problem to have.

This is just straight up lying though lol. All you’re doing is showing your ignorance and complete lack of awareness of the world around you.
