Oh look it's Cortana 2

Yeah, and I'm sure it also wanted middle managers to write COBOL.

The hell with that, fuck you MS.

I can only imagine the utter chaos this would cause in a cube farm.

But, the only place where talking to your computer at length makes any sense whatsoever is where you're alone in a private office and nobody outside of the office can hear you. Nobody wants to hear other people talking to their computer, and nobody wants other people listening to what they're doing on the computer.

My spouse and I both work from home and keep our office doors open so that the cats can come and go. We have absolutely no interest in hearing each other work. I know couples that share a home office. It's like these fucknut executives at M$ think everyone either lives alone or has a private office in the east wing of their McMansion.

And all of that is ignoring the fact that you shouldn't need AI to interpret what somebody wants a computer to do. Discreet commands for discreet tasks have been a thing for as long as computers have existed and there's no reason for that to change, regardless of the input method. Making commands fuzzy and open to interpretation is not an improvement.

I don't want a fucking experience I just want a computer that works you stupid capitalist fuckhead.

My penguin doesn't listen to what Microsoft wants.

Nah I'm good I don't dig talking to inanimate objects.

Someone watched Star Trek and took their interfaces a bit too literally

Then it's a good thing it's been a very long time since I last had to care about what Microsoft wants me to do with my computers.

Yes, "control." That's what Microsoft wants you to have over "your" computer.

HOT CILFS IN A 3 MILE RADIUS WANT TO TALK TO YOU

Beyond that sounding tedious as fuck, how much will that actually improve workflow? Or is this one of those features that sounds good to people with C level intelligence, and the rest of us just have to pretend we're using.

Can it be disabled?

I wonder when they start removing being able to make administrator account on regular licences and make you beg the ai for anything that requires elevated rights.

Microsoft has no say what happens on my workstation, and never had any.

We always knew AI would lead to this one day. But it you ask me that this day is still far away. We‘re not there yet.

The thought of how the computer would react to me telling my cat to get down off the desk is . . . both amusing and disturbing.
