It’s showing no sign of budging.

    This is quite scary from Microsoft’s point of view, which has put so much effort and money into its AI ventures that it really cannot afford for its business to dwindle out so soon.

    No one forced them to jump on the hype train. And, rather than realizing people don’t want it shoved into every nook and cranny of the OS and its default apps, they’re probably going to double down and start with full-screen popups or some other bullcrap like they did with the Windows 10 upgrades.

    “The people will like what we tell them to like” only seems to work for Apple.

      I was getting copilot pop-ups months ago that were begging me to join. Every update, I have to check the settings again. One Note and Copilot can go suck on some eggs.

        On, snap. Maybe group policy at work keeps the worst of that at bay (I’ve only seen the CoPilot app show up in the start menu which I immediately removed).

        I don’t have a horse in that fight at home (everything Linux all the time), so I didn’t realize it had reached that point already. Lol, and people still don’t want it.

          Lol, and people still don’t want it.

          I’m pleasantly surprised that no one else does. I’m usually the outlier in my family and friends. I think the trust level for these corporations has sunk pretty low. 10 years ago, it probably would have been a hit.

          Corporate/LTS editons of windows don’t have this shit. Microsoft knows better than to bite the hand that feeds it

          Home users can go get fucked though. Been that way for years, why do you think there’s different versions (home, professional, ultimate) of win 7 onwards?
