Oh so you do know the difference but you pretended you didn’t to try and act like there isn’t any?

What “total surveillance” are you talking about? You have full control over your data with copilot.

    You questioned why it exists while knowing the reason why it exists and pretending it doesn’t exist.

    Same why no one (except maybe disabled people or totally technically clueless ones) would need an LLM to toggle HDR or adjust brightness/volume/whatever. ..... ok, bad example as i actually do that in a smart-home

    Having copilot built in to windows is basically "smart-home"-ing your computer. No one needs to ask home assistant to turn off their lights, but it damn sure is handy and most often faster than doing it manually - same with my example of turning HDR on/off.

    Having it built in means you could ask it to interact with every piece of your computer. If you can't see how there is no USE for this, you've got a very narrow mind and no ability to think outside the box.

    Do you think toggling hdr is the only thing copilot can do? Do you not understand examples?

    If you love being stuck in the dark ages and hating all innovation and new tech, go for it.

    So you understand how having integrations with different systems works, and the benefits it provides...........but can't understand that the same thing applies to AI built into an OS?

    Amazing.

    I couldn’t think of one single scenario where this might be remotely handy.

    I literally gave you one - HDR toggling. You disregarded it because you didn't want there to be any reasons.

    Here's another - you could ask copilot to check your emails for an invite to a party that you are expecting, add the party to your calendar, create an item on your to-do list to get a present, and forward the invite to your partner.

    How's that? Is that not something that could be useful?

    Why should i toggle hdr off?

    Seriously? Because not everything supports HDR lol

    Takes a second to do with a mouse or keyboard

    If you know the keyboard shortcut, sure. With a mouse how do you do it in a second while you're in a game?

    As to the other example: Sure, useful.

    Great! So there we have it, you recognise that you were wrong. We got there in the end, hooray!

    To people who just don’t care about privacy

    How exactly do you think your privacy is being eroded? It's all on-device and you have privacy settings to control what MS can learn from.

    As MS should not have access to my mails, my calender or my to-do-list

    "MS" don't have to, just copilot on your device, without any feedback to MS.

    Try that shit with non-ms-products and it becomes just a waste of time.

    AI can already interact with third party products.

    SDR content looking bad when HDR is enabled, especially just the desktop and basic OS, has been a thing for years on windows. Guessing you either didn’t actually have a real HDR monitor, or just didn’t realise it shouldn’t look like what it did.

    Cloud-based use of AI doesn’t mean that they use your data for training or anything either - if you’d spent even 2 minutes looking at copilot in Windows you’d know this. On device or in cloud, you have privacy settings that control it.
