You’re acting like I’m crazy for taking issue with this, I’m just explaining my perspective. You’re free to enjoy whatever gizmos and gadgets microsoft bundles into the next windows release, just as much as I’m free to say it’s a piss-poor decision on their part to do so.
It shouldn’t be the user’s responsibility to seek out replacement programs for shit that has been baked into the OS since 1983. I genuinely haven’t seen a single person ANYWHERE EVER say “boy howdy I sure do wish notepad had more features, maybe an AI cowriter!”. If that’s something you really actually wanted before you heard about this, then I’m sorry for putting words in your mouth.
As it stands though, you’re just dying on a stupid hill for semantics.
No, I’m annoyed that you’re assuming that your view of this matter is the only one, and are insisting that Notepad should exclude any features that you don’t want even though it likely wouldn’t harm you if they were included.
I’m perfectly fine with people not using AI. I’m not perfectly fine with people jumping in and telling me “and you don’t get to use it either!”
The fact that Notepad is really old shouldn’t be an argument that it should never change.

I’m saying it right now. I’ve said it repeatedly in the course of this thread, in comments that you are posting direct responses to. I explicitly said in the previous comment, and the comment before it, that I wanted this. How are you not understanding this?
If that’s something you really actually wanted before you heard about this,
Ah, I see where you’re trying to weasel out a technical “I was right all along” - you’re going to say that because I hadn’t specifically said “in Notepad” about this before seeing that Windows was planning on adding this to Notepad, my interest in this new feature is somehow invalid and my previous comments are lies or something. Not “genuine.” You’ll imagine that I hadn’t thought about how nice it would be to have an AI cowriter in some kind of text editor before now, and that even now I’m… I don’t know, why do you think I’m arguing that this would be beneficial if I don’t actually want to use it? I can’t think of why you might imagine I’m arguing this, maybe I’m some kind of shill for Big AI?
And then you accuse me of “dying on a stupid hill for semantics.”
“asking for something” and “seeing something and deciding you like it” are two different things, but go on and type another 3 paragraphs about how I’m weaseling.

Heh. More semantics.
I saw it, and I said “yes please I’d like that.” That’s asking.
