Microsoft Adds Copilot to Notepad: A Pointless AI Integration?

Microsoft continues to integrate AI into its built-in Windows apps, with the latest update bringing Copilot's text generation capabilities to Notepad. Users must sign in with their Microsoft account and select a location before using the Copilot 'Write' function to generate text. This addition has sparked controversy, with many questioning its necessity and finding it superfluous for a simple text editor. In contrast, AI upgrades to Paint, such as a sticker generator and smart selection tool, seem more practical. Microsoft's enthusiasm for adding AI features across its apps is evident, but the usefulness of some integrations remains questionable.
