Microsoft continues to integrate more AI features into Windows 11

Microsoft is starting to integrate AI shortcuts, or what it calls AI actions, into the File Explorer in Windows 11. These shortcuts let you right-click on a file and quickly get to Windows AI features like blurring the background of a photo, erasing objects, or even summarizing content from Office files.

Four image actions are currently being tested in the latest Dev Channel builds of Windows 11, including Bing visual search to find similar images on the web, the blur background and erase objects features found in the Photos app, and the remove background option in Paint.

        You don’t want to be able to easily edit photos on your personal machine?

        You don’t want to be able to do a reverse image search right from explorer?

        And you’re against people having the option to do these things……why?

          That’s called MS Paint. It already exists.

          You don’t want to be able to do a reverse image search right from explorer?

          No! Why would I want more shit calling back to the mothership about my files on my personal computer?

          And you’re against people having the option to do these things……why?

          When did I ever say that?

            MS Paint doesn’t give you advanced features like background blurring/removal and object removal.

            Why would I want more shit calling back to the mothership

            They’re not “calling back to the mothership”. Why do you think they are?

            When did I ever say that?

            By being against them adding these features.

              Nor should it. It’s fucking MS PAINT, not Photoshop. If you want advanced features, use something more advanced. Adding shit to MS Paint when it’s gone virtually unchanged for decades without complaint is unnecessary feature creep.

              They’re not “calling back to the mothership”. Why do you think they are?

              LMAO

              By being against them adding these features.

              You understand the terms “opt-in” and “opt-out”, yes?

                MS paint isn’t getting these features - the photos app is.

                Also that’s a horrible reason to never improve programs lol.

                LMAO

                Oh you’ve got these features and can show us the logs of background blur calling back to MS?! Awesome, how’d you get them early? Uncle work for Microsoft?

                You didn’t say you want them to be opt-in or opt-out, you said you don’t want them on your computer.

      So lemmings = people who want to maintain full control of their PC rather than relinquishing various tasks to a fancy auto-complete?
