连可怜的记事本都没躲过微软的 AI 魔爪

Judging from the screenshot posted by a Windows Insider user, Windows Notepad will become the next target of Microsoft's artificial intelligence focus.

Even if this feature cannot be used directly in the current Windows Insider version, smart users can always find ways to penetrate into the system to reveal experimental features that have not been publicly previewed.

X user @PhantomOfEarth revealed These changes look like an ongoing engineering project. You'll see a pop-up menu called "Cowriter" that contains some options for adjusting the text format and content.

How these options fit into the original design of Notepad is questionable, and they seem to be better suited for an application like WordPad. However, Microsoft has abandoned WordPad, so it can only add it to Notepad.

In recent years, Microsoft has been working hard to improve and update Notepad. After many fine-tunings, this text editor has been neglected in the past few decades.

In the era of Windows 10, this editor was put on the Microsoft App Store. Its interface has also been updated after the introduction of Dark Mode, and tab support will be launched in 2023.

Adding AI functionality to the editor seems a bit over the top. Microsoft also seems to be planning to use the Paint Cocreator model for implementation, that is, users will get some points when registering (requiring a Microsoft account), and to use this feature they need to join the waiting list.

@PhantomOfEarth Comment: "I think this is a bit over the top. In addition to AI, Notepad could have more other elements that can be added, but alas, everyone likes to follow the trend and hype. ”

We also think Notepad has added too many features, especially since it originally appeared as a minimalist text editor.

Regarding Microsoft’s plan to apply AI in Notepad, we asked Microsoft relevant questions and will update the information after receiving a response. This could be a sign of a future where Microsoft will combine the power of Windows with AI wherever possible.

As shown in the screenshot, the AI ​​in Notepad does not seem to be very practical. We believe that experienced readers will be able to think of functions that are more suitable for this editor.
