Windows 11’s AI Overload: Microsoft’s Copilot Vision Raises Eyebrows and Privacy Concerns
Microsoft is throwing AI at Windows 11, launching features like Copilot Vision, a screen-streaming backseat driver, and other AI superpowers. While the company claims AI is revolutionizing PC use, not everyone is convinced this change is positive. Windows 11 is touted as the AI hub, but some users aren’t sold on this digital assistant invasion.
Hot Take:
Microsoft is at it again, sprinkling AI magic over Windows 11 like pixie dust to see what sticks. With features like Copilot Vision, it’s like they’re trying to resurrect Clippy but with a PhD in screen snooping. While it may sound futuristic, some might find it as unsettling as having your vacuum cleaner give you life advice. But hey, if your laptop can be your new BFF while also judging your choice of wallpaper, who are we to judge?
Key Points:
- Microsoft introduces Copilot Vision, a successor to the infamous Recall feature.
- Copilot Vision captures screenshots and sends them to Microsoft’s servers for analysis.
- New AI features include an “agentic” AI called Mu that can adjust settings via natural language.
- Windows 11 update brings AI features to apps like Photos and Paint.
- The Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) gets a makeover to a Black Screen of Death.
