        If I wanted AI I could go to some shit website and use it. Just like I don’t want a “useful free” toilet in my car, I don’t want brain-damaging spyware in my notepad.

          1. But now you don’t have to go to some shit website, you can use it directly where you want it.
          2. It’s not spyware.

        People love free and useful features. Cramming AI into notepad is not useful in the slightest. This is just one more unnecessary AI interaction platform in an os already chock full of them.

          So AI isn’t useful in the slightest? ChatGPT? Claude?

          You know you don’t have to use AI in it, right?

        That’s what wordpad was for. Many just want a simple text editor without any cloud features. You might be using a a temp scratch pad and when the cloud keeps storing your temp passwords and keys it isn’t very secure.
        Windows should have wordpad readded with the AI features as well.
