AnthonyIt looks like Microsoft's planned total keylogger might be forced on users of Windows 11 this summer regardless of whether or not they buy a "Copilot+ PC": <a href="https://www.pcgamesn.com/windows-11/ai-app-watermark" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.pcgamesn.com/windows-11/ai-app-watermark</a> <blockquote>The features of AI Explorer sound impressively powerful. Specifically, it’s expected to largely run as a background app, capturing data on everything you do with your PC. It will then allow you to recall and interact with all this data in a natural language manner. For instance, it might read your emails, your browsing history and your WhatsApp messages then you can use the app to ask for a summation of the emails you received today or what the name of the website you were browsing earlier was. </blockquote>This is starting to look like a nightmare on a number of levels. Imagine someone who is not you being able to "interact with all this data in a natural language manner". Opt out, if it is available, is not a comfort. If history is any guide it won't be long before this "AI Explorer" is woven into every part of Windows and the operating system feels crippled without it. You will almost surely be harassed regularly to turn it on. Local processing is not a comfort either. Even if you choose to believe Microsoft on this, which is a risky choice, cyberattackers and ransomware attackers have no limits on what they'll take, not to mention members of your household who do not respect your boundaries or employers with boundary and trust issues. To me this feels like an unethical and dangerous choice on Microsoft's part. <a href="https://buc.ci?t=ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=generativeai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=antifeatures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AntiFeatures</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=privacynightmare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PrivacyNightmare</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=recall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Recall</a>
