No longer just a Copilot, Microsoft's AI wants to take the wheel

I hope Europe takes this as a reason to abandon ms even further. Hell, ban it.

I had a Microsoft account, for the times I had to use Windows or anything from that company.

Man, I had to jump through loops to close my azure "services", wait a few days "to make sure this what I want" and what not.

At the end, there is a form with quite several checkboxes telling you what you are going to "lose" if you complete the deletion.

Let's say I do not miss these predatory practices.

You haven't owned Windows since 2012

Their new AI will be named: Pilot

Oh I see so they've finished with listening to their users have they? Back to business as usual buggering everything up.

How long did that take, that was about 3 weeks.

Isn't that just one more in a long line of examples of software companies neglecting to write code that they could easily write, instead leaving a machine learning model to cover over that neglect at great expense?

Running an AI to figure out how to solve a hard part in a game uses tons of electricity and water. Putting in a cheat code uses _no_ additional resources. In most cases, games _do_ already have cheat codes that were just never released to the public, for testing. It seems overtly neglectful to me to leave those out of a single player game for an AI to do, when they could do it themselves with often no additional effort.

I think using a cheat code and beating it yourself is way more fun than watching someone/something else do it.
