Microsoft Copilot Is Coming: It’s Both Exciting and a Bit Sad
www.technewsworld.com
With the capabilities of generative AI, particularly in conversation, what Microsoft is doing with Copilot could have been much more. It could have blown past existing voice assistants like Apple’s Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa to be truly amazing. That’s just a bit sad.

    I only have one thing to add to this topic:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot]
"TurnOffWindowsCopilot"=dword:00000001

    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.
