Nothing is sacred.
With this update, we are introducing the ability to rewrite content in Notepad with the help of generative AI. You can rephrase sentences, adjust the tone, and modify the length of your content based on your preferences to refine your text.

This is the reason everything is going to shit.
Totally worth all those huge data centres and the nukes to power them.
Stop using US-based operating systems. Even the Linux distributions. openSUSE, EndeavourOS, CachyOS, they all sound great about now. OpenBSD has always been great.
AI enabled the rise of fascism and now it will be used to rewrite facts with alternative statements.
What is worse, there is literally no reg edits or powershell commands to disable all this new crap in notepad. It’s all playpen-os point and click to disable things like the autocorrect and spellcheck. I just want to edit some scripts! Leave me alone!
Even replacing notepad as the default txt editor is more additional hoops than it should be.
Bring back wordpad and frankenstein that, leave notepad alone!!
I also don’t like any of the changes. But it would seem that microsoft aren’t afraid tp displease users these days. After all, many users complain, but few actually do anything about it. I try to disable all the anti-features I can from my account, but I had to log into a new user account the other day…ugh it’s appalling how much of a hellscape windows has become. And why is it so slow? Even a fresh install is so bloated.
