Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

Even scroll lock has been used more. Nobody will want your AI crap, microsoft, not even with a dedicated key.

I can guarantee there is a significant number of people who do want more AI crap.

Hell I can understand why. If it was done ethically and with user privacy as a core tenant of its implementation I would probably love having convenient access to AI tools like that.. But this is Microsoft so I think I'm gonna instead go the opposite direction and add this to the list of reasons my next PC will be Linux

Saying nobody wants AI is like saying nobody wants the internet a few decades ago. Before you know it, it'll be the interface to everything you do with a computer.

Out of interest though, what specifically is it that you don't like?

Microsoft. Thats what I dont like.

Oh, and about the internet comparison. The internet was and is actually useful, I don’t see any serious tasks AI assistants are helpful with today. And by the way, there were keyboards with dedicated “internet” keys. I don’t see them nowhere now.

Have you played with AI tools yet?

I use my voice assistant daily, I take pictures with my phone which it retouches with varying results, and I search said pictures with text queries. As for generating bullshit pictures or untrue information, I don’t have much use for that.
