Nope, the ability for it to actually interact with non-chat-window stuff is that whole "agent" bullshit they've been pushing lately.

"Hey, we finally let the chatbot send text to the command line! What do you mean it deleted your entire email box? Give us money please."

    Isn't it weird how they can surface a million dialog boxes to ask you if you want to switch back to Edge, but cannot fathom having a confirmation dialog for using LLMs to make potentially destructive changes to your files or system?

    Seems so common sense that there must be some business strategy implying that having the user in the driver's seat is not the direction they would like to go. Microsoft certainly has the UI people necessary to design the UX for human intervention / supervision of LLM tool calling.
