That's part of why every service and system are getting integrations, It's not for us it's for data harvesting.
In the end that's what "Windows Recall" will be used for. Access to every moment of every user for every app... Can you imagine the training data that would provide? An AI that could run any program ever created.
I bet there was a meeting where someone axed the off button because numbers.
How is does this contradict the comment you are replying to?
It's hard to follow for me. Increase engagement in... office apps? For why?!
I don't think I'm going to switch back over OneDrive or Copilot integration.
I would like to multi-color a cell.
I believe Excel does this by dividing the cell diagonally and coloring each triangle differently.
In Spreadsheet, I just use a solid background and then a different color border.
It's most egregious on Azure, which has a copilot button on every page, and anytime I try to ask it about a precise configuration question for a resource, it NEVER answers correctly. So you have to search on whatever set of microsoft Q&A platforms, stackoverflow questions, and github issues/discussions to maybe find an answer like in the prehistory of 2020.
Or how about outlook copilot, which can't do the unbelievably simple task of figuring out when someone asks for a meeting at 1pm tomorrow and you press make invite to actually pre-fill 1pm tomorrow as the meeting time????? ARGH!
And we are worried about fast takeoff and the singularity? Give me a break.
Imagine my pleasant surprise (/s) when recently I went there, and the icons for these apps had vanished. Instead there was a giant gaping textbox for Copilot. A minute or so of staring at it, and I noticed a "Create" link on the left. That led to a page that invited me to do various things (e.g. "create a presentation", presumably with the web version of PowerPoint). The icons were still missing though.
Also notable: My work-issued Windows computer has Copilot, and Copilot 365. I have no idea which does what, and what's the difference between the two.
Just regular agressivness from an agressive company
So no, the AI "feature" cannot be turned off, because it needs to be active and continuously spying on us and leeching our data to "train" them to spy better and more intrusively.
All so we get targeted ads everywhere that are more tightly coupled to our lives, and so our lives can be dictated, controlled and exploited by the powers that be.
The world runs on Windows. Oftentimes, outdated iterations of windows even.
I think it's safe to say that it is impossible to exist in the world today without interacting with a Microsoft product as part of daily life - far more so than with Google, Apple, Amazon, Samsung, etc.

Maybe Stephen Miller should take look at deportation.
