Windows 11’s Notepad continues to get Copilot-powered AI features – a handy addition to a tool whose main appeal has always been simplicity and minimalism. Not all users are happy, however, with some saying AI features are overkill.

Huh. That's my line I guess.

oh god i know what they're planning....they're going to force AI slop into the base model and charge you extra to move up to premium, where it's just a regular fucking text editor, lmao

Copilot has been in Notepad, though. It can be disabled in Settings. I also disabled Markdown — I don't need it. I just use Notepad as like a scratch pad, it's a bit more versatile than Sticky Notes (which I also use).

It was already ruined when they modernized it. Now they are just pissing on it's corpse.

I want Microsoft to add AI to my ass. Imagine what you could do with all the data coming out my butt MS. Hurry up and start working on it, openAI is already working on pushing AI to our balls.

Uninstall new notepad.

Install Notepad (classic).

Ezpz. Although i wonder how long that'll last. My manager got upset i wasnt using the new notepad because of its features.

I explained np++ is for things that last more than a day. Notepad classic is for thoughts i dont care about when i shut down.

If I am writing my thoughts down onto a notepad document why would I need an interloper?

Quick! Someone tell me why I shouldn't be using Sublime!

[-] TriangleSpecialist@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Because it's proprietary.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
