    Microsoft has recently announced Windows Copilot, an AI-powered assistant for Windows 11. Windows Copilot sits at the side of Windows 11, and can summarize content you’re viewing in apps, rewrite it, or even explain it. Microsoft is currently testing this internally and promised to release it to testers in June before rolling it out more broadly to Windows 11 users.

    Oh my God, they’re bringing back clippy.

      That means a whole new market of NFT Clippy Skins can be established.

      If it’s GPT4 though I might sell my soul for that kind of automation integrated into my PC…

        That’s essentially the deal you’d be making. OpenAI requires your mobile number to create an account, and I’m certain Microsoft will identify you in any way it can too. Your choice is to give up any anonymity and have everything you ever wondered about recorded for all time in exchange for the privilege of asking Neo-Clippy how to deal with your toenail fungus. (I’m certain he’ll have a product to recommend for it, too.)

        The only way this wouldn’t be a nightmare would be to have a local, pretrained GPT database (like ShareGPT_Vicuna_unfiltered) that is updated like any other system update, thereby keeping your queries local only to you while still providing regular knowledge updates.

        And they will never, ever do that because that doesn’t extract value from you.
