Booted up my Windows 10 PC today to find this shit at the top of the context menu in Windows Explorer
(hexbear.net)
Noticed this while I was going through bank statement .pdfs on my computer. What would Co-Pilot even do with those????
At least Co-Pilot turned out to be easy to uninstall. This was a real sneaky move though, since it's not like it showed up after a Windows update, instead it just silently installed itself on my fucking computer. Also, just the sheer fucking gall to make it the first option when you right click on anything
I foolishly assumed Microsoft wouldn't bother pushing AI as hard onto Win10 since they're dumping it soon. At first I panicked and thought this was Recall, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's coming next
Soon no one will be opening files anymore, you will ask copilot about the contents of the file.
Viewing an image? Ask copilot to generate what it thinks the image looks like.
This will save so much time when using your device. Soon you won't need a computer anymore just a subscription to Windows 365!
And then you try to open the image file on a non-Windows system and discover that it's actually just a text file with a prompt. Your actual Image is now part of copilot's training data and you've agreed to this by accepting the Windows EULA.
"Save storage space with copilot!"
