The title of the article is very misleading. Microsoft has not said they'll be removing AI features already deployed on Windows. All it says is they're reevaluating AI features going forward and streamlining the experience whatever that means. It sounds like they're looking to rename unpopular unwanted feature like Recall instead of scrapping it. The whole thing is just a PR move to placate the disgruntled masses. Also they said nothing about intrusive ads, telemetry, or rapidly declining stability of overall system. Recent update literally broke windows explorer, task bar and start menu. One thing for certain, Microsoft will not stop using Copilot to develop their software in house. That would be admitting Ai tools are useless and that would sink Microsoft stock even further than it already has.

    You're wrong, but I think you'll be OK with that because the reality of the situation is actually hilarious:

    "Turns out Copilot sucks so let's just use our competitor's superior product but that's no reason we can't keep foisting the inferior garbage on the masses!"
