Microsoft Copilot Is Coming: Why It’s Both Exciting and a Bit Sad

storksforlegs, 8 months ago (edited 8 months ago)

So long as I can disable it, thats all I care about. If people want to use it, go for it. But I dont want my personal desktop use to train an AI, or have it butt in like Cortana.

I get how it could be useful in certain settings but I feel like its offering help for a problem that doesnt exist most of the time. Like, do most people need generative AI to complete everyday desktop tasks?

Also this sounds like a potential privacy nightmare, even for Microsoft.

I only have one thing to add to this topic:

I can’t see the “exciting” bit.
