How about you make settings easier to find instead? That is, if it wasn't deliberate to dictate the users a preset.
It is not hard. You just have to change it in the Settings, sorry in the Control Panel or was it in Registry. /s
I'm already used to windows settings randomly changing in particular for sound input outputs... So now there will be an AI changing them on top of that?
RNG control panel?
It works exactly like a piglin. You toss Microsoft some gold, and maybe they’ll give you the right setting.
Exactly my thoughts. My microphone sound level always randomly reduces to a lower level. The only way I notice it is when people in voice chat tell me how quiet I am.
linux should add an ai agent that does nothing except return ascii cats
Oh shit, you just reminded me that I never installed the Cat Walk widget on my current KDE install!
That already exists
cat /dev/random
Looks like this isn't ripe for abuse in any way.... ~~sarcasm~~
You just know MS is going to find a way to abuse this 'feature' to change people's settings behind their backs in any way they see fit.
This reeks of the type of malware that used to take complete control of your PC and change settings maliciously, and even delete important files or straight-up nuke your OS install in the worst-case scenario, but made 'legitimate' somehow. Yes, MS is really stooping that low to make one of the worst types of malware an actual OS feature.
I am pretty sure Microsoft doesn't need an AI agent to access your settings.
However, that AI agent might be a new attack vector for someone else.
Can’t wait to see all the exciting ways this fucks up people’s computers.
Or just make settings that aren't total dumb bullshit for which you need Ai to find anything.
trying to format C: to install linux
I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave
I'll tell my AI agent to go into the registry and disable itself.
Sorry, Dave, I can't do that.
Ok let me play devil’s advocate and preface this with I’m not a big windows fan at all since I primarily use MacOS and Linux, but I could see this as moderately useful but used in a slightly different way. I don’t want the AI to actually make the changes by itself, even with my permission. But being able to ask it a natural language question about how to make a specific change and then walking me through how to make those changes, like showing me where in the the menu or OS that setting is hiding could be very useful. In the long run it could help teach the end user more about the OS and how things are organized and setup.
Just my 2¢
Now you can just prompt engineer windows defender to deactivate and disable the firewall. Nice! Script kiddies rejoice!!
I remember when MS made the perfect control panel in Win 2k and XP then spent the next 20 years making it worse and worse just because.
And here we are.
Thanks Microsoft for admitting that Wimdows sucks. You didn't even try really.
They really are trying hard for people to switch to Linux huh
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
