Microsoft has announced a new line of AI-enhanced Windows PCs, aiming to revolutionize the way users interact with their devices by integrating the Copilot AI assistant into the Windows operating system. The creepy system will take constant screenshots of your activity to track your every move.
Fortune reports that at an event held at the company’s headquarters in Redmond, Washington, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella introduced the new class of AI-imbued personal computers, emphasizing their potential to anticipate users’ needs and intentions. “We’re entering this new era where computers not only understand us, but can actually anticipate what we want and our intent,” Nadella stated.

How is this any different from what MicroSoft has done since day one?

This is creepy and intrusive, and you can bet the government will have access to it for all of us. No 4th Amendment required.
20 years or more ago we were horrified at the privacy the computers were taking from us, and vowed we would never allow it. Well, we not only allowed it, we have become comfortable with it. I dont like this world anymore.

Copilot AI showed up on my Win10 pc a couple months ago. I found a way to remove it but was warned it may show back up after some Windows update. So far so good but yeah, no Microsoft AI product welcome here.

As soon as this popped up on my computer I went online for directions on how to disable it in the registry. The concerning thing is , as usual with MS you cannot actually delete it.

The LAST thing that I want to happen is for my computer to "understand" me. I want it to do what I tell it to do, no more, no less.

because the hillary voice from winders wasn't creepy enough.
my computer blew up one christmas. so i raced to replace it. the only units available were evil w8.
research revealed that m-shoite ordered all w7 units be embargoed and taken off the shelf.
azn and e-by were awash with ancient pc's at ludicrous prices, because...w7.
and thus it was, i harrowed hell to endure the doom of w8,8.1,10.

It's not AI. It's just more lines of code, more servers, and more trespassing into your life. This personification of AI has always grated on me

I love the breezy, uncluttered functionality of Windows 3.1 But 5.25 inch floppies are getting a bit pricey. Think I'll go back to my TRS 80. I've got some spare cassette tapes.

Will it anticipate that I want to remove it, and remove itself? Or is it too embedded to be disabled?

Re #13, PROBABLY you can set up the registry to make it inoperative, if it isn't possible to actually remove it.
But, likely future "mandatory updates" for, you know, your own good, will reconnect and reactivate it, I'll bet.

Yes, they are so thoughtful to track everything we do and then send it to some Left-Wing Branch if government who will accuse us of insurrection if they don't like what we say to each other. Back to snail mail folks.

afaik, you can go to r-click the taskbar to search and disable co-pilot, and remove the icons from view.
but gates of hell and his 'ai' come back like a bad rash, with updating.
and so do his notions of depopulation and world dominion.
he's at the back of the so-called who 'treaty' to cede u.s. sovereignty to the red-packed who,
and make himself a dictator of 'health' [life/death] for the globe.
call yr politicos and scream like judge 'manners and deportment' in NYC.

They already do a lot of that now with cloud data management and auto-everything when you attempt to write something. Ads are targeted to what you write, the websites that you visit, the books and other stuff that you shop for online. It's already a data miner's dream.

I do my best to minimize the amount of 'my' information that 'they' have.
-I do not use Google.
-I do not use 'the Cloud' ('the Cloud' sounds so much better than 'Central Computer Network Data Center' don't you think?)
-I use a VPN whenever possible
-I clear cookies and trackers -often-
Just looking, I do not see anything labeled 'CoPilot' on my Windows 10 machine.

There was a guy who was talking to his wife in a low voice.
"Speak Up! I can't hear your!" she said.
"I think all these 'smart' devices are listening and snooping on us" he repeated, in a slightly louder voice.
"Oh, That SILLY!" she said.
And she laughed.
And Alexa laughed.
And Siri laughed.
And Cortana laughed.

FTA: "“We’re entering this new era where computers not only understand us, but can actually anticipate what we want and our intent,”.."
Will the computer understand that I do NOT WANT "Big Brother" watching me and send in misinformation for me?

What will gushing Nadella do when her understanding computer decides to blow her face off because she wants to toss it for a new one?

#16: "Back to snail mail folks."
And "sneaker net", too.
It matters little how much app complexity you build into your mail apps, the basic server handshake in SMTP is an insecure foundation and has been since the beginning..
