“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

Same with Windows. I can enable and disable various input features on Windows, why wouldn't this be something that could be disabled too?

    The closest thing to this right now is Copilot Vision, which is entirely configurable.

    Sure, but you don't have control. If Microsoft decides that you are not allowed to disable this any longer, you will be left with no true choice.

    That's what Google does with Android, bending everyone to their will, not caring how we feel about any of their policies.

    Why would MS be different? Just look at the numerous features Windows 11 removed as compared to 10. Did they give me a choice? Or what about their promise that Windows 10 will be the last Windows? Or what about them forcing people to buy new hardware to run Windows 11?

    Trying to disable this stuff ultimately just sugarcoats the ever growing frustrations of using a system that locks down further with every passing year.
