Nobody uses notepad the way Microsoft thinks people use notepad.
It assists with refining your writing by rephrasing your sentences, modifying your tone, and tweaking the length of your text based on your preferences.
I don’t remember when was the last time I wrote a full sentence in Notepad yet alone needed an Ai redaction. Because it’s a fucking notepad! It’s for writing notes not essays!
First, they came for Wordpad, and I did not speak out–because I did not use Wordpad…
Notepad++ ftw
Notepad# when?
That’s what the article is about
The fuck? This must be on Win 11. My Notepad still has to be told whether to search Down or Up, just like in 1990.
As it ahould be!
Enshitification will continue until moral improves.
Classic windows L. Come to the light side come to the linux master race.
Please put AI in my toilet too. Please I am begging.
you are joking but I am sure that will come too, toilet AI doing health checks based on the color and consistency of your poo
And the collected data will be sold to every type of insurance provider you have.
It’s gonna be real confused with the amount of beets I eat
health checks based on the color and consistency of your poo
That’s already a thing. I am talking about LLM in Toilet LOL.
not in the form of a camera staring at your butthole from your household toilet though.
I’ve heard of Mench on a Bench but never Robotty on the Potty
AI will never come for vim!
As if the new notepad wasn’t already enough of a downgrade.
well cause the more software that has AI the more ways Microsoft has of collecting very personal data from you without your conscious content. They will likely be privy to whatever you write there even if you don’t really use the AI feature.
Notepad++
More like Notepad–, amirite
Dunno if I’m misunderstanding you or you’re misunderstanding the person you replied to, but Notepad++ is a third party program unaffiliated with windows or notepad. It’s also an astronomical step up from notepad and it’s free and has optional plugins and whatnot.
I’m aware, it was mostly a joke about these “features” making Notepad worse. Nevertheless, thank you :)
asks AI politely to show line break characters
Oh my God, AI and a subscription model. Kill me now.
Of course subscription
Didn’t you know that AI can only run on servers?
/S, of course
Well that’s weird, because I didn’t need AI to improve my writing.
All it took was one very good and very short book:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Style
I don’t agree with everything in it, but I agree with most of it.
Exactly. I write well enough. I only use AI if I’m just stuck for words and want to get a suggestion. Sometimes it’s good enough, sometimes it’s way off base, but was enough kick to get things going in my brain.
I’d appreciate some added AI to give suggestions occasionally, but it needs to be implemented well. I hate when Word tells me to phrase something differently as if it 100% correct. No, I worded it that way because that’s how I want to say it.
The real damage will be when everybody starts sounding alike because there are defined acceptable ways to say things.
Personally I don’t use Notepad for writing writing. Its a functional writing app. A app for copying and pasting code, or making a list, or crude ascii art. If I need to bold something, or do text formatting, thats when I open up the several orders of magnitude larger office apps.
That’s another issue, but I agree. I was just addressing the idea that this is what people need to help them be better writers.
All this will do is to teach them how to better write specific sentences. If they even read the suggestion before using it.
Yeah. I hate reading “essays” generated by an AI.
Keep it short for better reader experience.Everytime I see a commercial where someone uses AI to make something larger and embellish and such, I think of the other commercials where people use the same AI to summarize it for them.
There’s a place for more formal writing.
But the point of using precise, formal language is the intent behind it. If you’re just RNG-ing it it loses all meaning.
That’s stupid, notepad is meant to be simple…
