Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Don't get me wrong - this is awful and is just another misstep in a long line of missteps by Microsoft.
But I also can't help but chuckle at this. It is so clear that "AI" as it has been developed today is hitting a peak of what it can do. These corporations are desperate to shove it in every product they possibly can to drive sales and valuations to make shareholders wet and yet the only things they ever advertise AI being capable of are crap like summaries, background removal, background insertion, grammar/typo checking, list making, web searching, etc. Most of it being crap that I have never once heard of a person being even remotely interested in... and why would they be? Why would someone want to edit their photos to add a different sky, new people, etc to create memories that never happened?
I disagree. If this is in your system, they're going to use every file on your computer to train their AI. That's my guess.
I'm sure they will. It's Microsoft, so I'd expect nothing less than that.
