    Does that mean the AI thing will be unable to be uninstalled?

      Probably. It will be an “essential” part of the OS, like Edge.

        Which means it’ll probably be training on literally everything you do on the computer and reporting it all back to Microsoft

          Yep. A lot of what you do is already being reported back to Microsoft though.

          And most likely they’ll come 'round to your house and harvest your organs while you sleep, too.

          Where are these “probable” scenarios coming from? This seems kind of overboard.

              “training on literally everything you do on the computer and reporting it all back to Microsoft” is rather a big jump from “report lots of telemetry data.”

              I’m not saying people shouldn’t be paying attention, but this thread is jumping straight from “there’s a potential risk here” to “OMG Windows is spyware, delete everything!” There’s already a lot of hysteria surrounding AI, let’s not go nuts without some kind of actual reason.

                “now now, calm down everyone. Let’s see what the Orphan-Crushing Machine really does before we start getting upset. Just because it is fully capable of (and seems exclusively designed to) crush all orphans doesn’t mean it is actually going to crush ALL the orphans. Probably just a few orphans really.”

                There is a reason Microsoft stopped caring a long time ago that it is so easy to install and use Windows without paying for a key. You can STILL use any old windows 7 key you have to active windows 10 and 11. You can use the OS nearly in it’s entirety (as far as home users are concerned) without even doing that. It is because Windows is no longer Microsoft’s biggest product, the user is.

        Just like Cortana, however, there will be a way to disable it via Group Policy somehow. That’s because government institutions that use Windows will not be happy with there being a feature in the OS that is capable of listening to a microphone and transmitting what it hears to a third party. I know Cortana can take voice commands, and I’d doubt their AI thingy will be much different in the user facing implementation.

        It will be an “essential” part of the OS, like Edge Internet Explorer 4.
