The most scary thing about interacting with AI is the confidence with which it tells you false information and how much people come to think of AI as "highly intelligent and therefore qualified".
If you are spooked by a text completion algorithm typing out things, then you are putting way too much faith on the thing. Both pro and anti AI camps have built weird myths about the thing.
This. I've done some study into convolutional neural networks (not an expert by any means), and the backpropagation training process basically ends up polarising the output nodes. Which causes models to be almost 100% confident that a new category is something it's seen before.
from a video about a book about current day politics (paraphrasing it as I am too lazy to go thru the video to find the exact book and quote) "the most efficient way to combat an imaginary threat is to produce it"
i agree. I dont mind the old explorer at all. i mean nova day i only use windows to run those games on steam which are not Linux ready yet. so for me the old explorer is not just not a problem but indeed a win. I think winUtil should allow to chose between disabled and removed with the caveat that explorer will be the old style. wonder what would i have to remove to get back Aero :)
I freaked the hell out when I entered a mental outlaw video and a text to speech voice started to speak in Spanish. Turns out RUclips is also ruining themselves with AI
Windows 11 file explorer can’t even remember searches and often can’t find files even though they are RIGHT THERE when you comb over a folder manually.
I swear to god the file explorer is so buggy nowadays. Sorting is bugged often; Sometimes I only find things manually, sometimes I only find them through search. Its crazy my download folder especially is bugged
It's funny because it worked perfectly for me in Windows XP, 7 and 8 and earlier versions of 10 and then it became worse, in the latest version of 10 and 11 it can't find files that are literally in the folder/path I'm searching in, it's beyond infuriating.
What shocked me the most about Linux was the speed it found files in file explorers. On Windows, looking up even one file takes ages, on Linux it's almost instantaneous.
No extra code, it literally does what it tells you to do, no more. And in many cases the developers optimized the code using clever algorithms and tricks.
Nah, it can be instant on windows as well. It's just not often set up by default properly. I used to butt heads with people about this at work because nobody but me would set up indexing properly and they wouldn't believe me that it only took a few seconds to query onedrive.
AI this, AI that. AI everywhere. Everywhere you go has that ridiculous little star sparkle icon and some zesty name like "Gensteid" with the text "Introducing our new AI!". I don't need an AI to help me shop for something. I don't need AI to tell me what to do today. I'm human. I can do whatever I want so long as it's legal. I really hate this new trend of AI being pushed onto everything, and I *mean* everything.
Appropriate uses for AI baked into Windows: • Smart removal of Temp files. • Better detection of unusual activity that may be the result of a zero-day. • Video Up-Scaling and Artifact removal. • Webcam stabilization. • Transcription • Better TTS Voices. • Better Calendar Management • Contextually Aware Auto-correct • More verbose and detailed Event Viewer logs. • Dynamic Task Scheduler • First-party Smart home controls from the PC (without HomeAssistant, IFTTT, and Webhooks). All of these can be accomplished without the collection of user data.
I disagree with you. Recall should not be disabled by default, it should be uninstalled by default. I do not understand why every piece of software has to be integrated at this point. One of the greatest features of linux is that the user decides what is on their system. With windows, I have so much stuff on my system that I do not need (like why is onedrive installed by default???) that it actually slows the system down.
I don't know but Windows has a habit of adding software junk that unnecessarily eats up resources. For example, Microsoft Edge is the default while most people use Firefox and Chrome... Uh no, for Chrome, forget what I just said with all this war against ad blockers.
@@michaspringphul Yes you can. There are many advancements that have made it possible, such as valves contributions to the process, and software like wine.
In my job, I work with C# and also some Microsoft software products. Microsoft started serving machine-translated TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION a few years ago. This means, every time I google something regarding C#, I will be served a poorly translated, misleading and sometimes plain wrong article in my mother tongue. Up until recently, Microsoft allowed me to switch back to English by clicking a little Globe icon. This is not possible anymore. Because „AI“ is now smart enough to translate accurate technical information with references, code examples, … - yeah, right…

I don't wanna hear my boss tell me again to use AI, in fact he won't ever from now on. I work in networks and systems. Just tell me how am I supposed to use a thing that spit out whatever it reads on the Internet in order to configure a firewall that controls access to servers with sensible data... How can someone be right in their mind and still think that ChatGPT can help you configuring VLANs and managing switches ??? We worked together on something lastly, he used 10 times ChatGPT. Those 10 times the bot only gave him wrong answers, I was just watching him failing. He still thinks that that thing is somehow useful... Yeah sure, I guess if after failing 10 times in a row you still cannot see how this bot is useless (and dangerous), then you really need some help.

I actually tamed my Win 11 Installation with the help of WinAero Tweaker, ClassicShell and Explorer Patcher to get rid of AI, Telemetry and to change everything back that annoyed me to death with Windows 11. Now it looks, feels and operates much more like Windows 7 and i can give the OS some appreciation. It's so sad that MS don't cares that we as Users have to put in so much effort and work, to get our OS back into a operational and usable State that looks decent and not horrible!!! I'll stick to the old Explorer because Recall get's right back to the Factory in it's untouched box.
Jumping through all of those hoops seems like a lot more work than using a Linux distribution. _Sure_ you have to re-learn your tools for a solid week but if all you're doing is web browsing and the occasional search of your file system then that's no big deal. If you *need* Windows, _fine._ However, if you can use open-source alternatives for your tasks (and PortableApps is practically a compendium of such things), then you should be able to make the leap.

Over what though? Consumers on one side of the banana and workers on the other? You can't be as comfortable and chill as you are at the onset of WWIII while complaining about surveillance. Your country has been at secret war since 2008. You dont even know what that means. You can cry all you want but you have right fight them. They can put you in a camp if they want. Right now. They have had that legal opening since 2008 and Joe Biden extended this encroachment by military intelligence into domestic affairs. Be careful as grounds shift and they can find you by thought. You will be contextualized. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Joe Biden’s administration and national security strategies have used the term "Domestic Violent Extremism" (DVE) to describe individuals or groups posing threats due to ideological motivations. This term broadly encompasses various protest movements and extremist ideologies, including right-wing, racially motivated groups, as well as some environmental and political activists. However, the use of this label has raised concerns about overreach, as it could stigmatize non-violent activists or protesters engaging in constitutionally protected speech. Critics argue that the "DVE" designation can be too expansive, potentially targeting groups like Black Lives Matter activists, environmental protesters, and others under broad interpretations of extremism. The Biden administration has maintained that such categorization is essential for national security but has faced backlash from civil liberties groups, who warn that these measures might disproportionately affect certain communities and lead to unjust surveillance or criminalization of activism

It is so that if you run for president in 30 years time, and MS doesn't like your policies, all the embarrassing things you ever did will be gradually leaked to the media.
Same here. I'm only using my pc to do some home banking, browsing facebook and youtube and play a few games and do some cnc design. Why would I ever need a tool that takes screenshots every 5 seconds and analyse it using AI? I don't use the already existing search feature anyways because I know where all my files are. And if I need to take a screenshot of something ingame, I can happily press "Print Screen" on my keyboard and save just that one screenshot myself. Why force such tools upon us and mingle it into the OS's explorer system so you can't even disable or remove it anymore when it's only meant to store those screenshots locally? It doesn't make any sense. This just proves Microsoft WILL use this system to spy on you and copy/sell your data for extra income, no matter what they claim.
The worst part of this is: somebody is working in a corp that is using Microsoft products: mail, file share, office, ... hence switching to Linux might bring incompatible applications experiences.
The AI features are switched off on my work PC by the admins. Microsoft are pretty good about allowing managed work PCs to be opted out of their worst features.
AI will also fabricate sources to back up what it says, because that makes it look more realistic, and appearing realistic is what the AI is trained to do.
@@RoshiGaming I've caught it giving out bad information. When confronted it just reminds me that it's basing it's information on what it finds out on the internet. To be fair, the innerwebz are full of misinformation.

@@RoshiGaming yeah it's been made to be highly agreeable with the user. If you don't do that, It will end up like bing AI when it was first released in closed beta and was passive agressive and argued with you until the end of time.
I can't wait to see companies that develop products on top of AI start getting sued over AI mistakes. They always forget that magical phrase you see in something like ChatGPT: 'AI can make mistakes, etc.' If the builders of AI can't guarantee its accuracy, good luck when they sell an AI product to an accounting firm.
Companies don't get ruined for regular mistakes now. Why would AI change anything? They'll settle the few oopsies out of court and continue on doing what they always have.
Just asked chatgpt and its answer: If AI products lead to financial losses or compliance issues, companies can't simply hide behind the unpredictability of the technology. Courts might start treating AI-related errors as a form of negligence if due diligence isn’t demonstrated. In short, your comment highlights a looming challenge: selling AI-based solutions without guaranteeing accuracy could become a legal minefield. You are likely to be held responsible unless your product clearly limits liability and provides disclaimers (similar to how OpenAI does). So basically, if I build software using it, I need to tell them beforehand that I can't guarantee anything they paid for Good look selling that.
i think ai can be useful sometimes, but people overhype it too much. this happens with almost everything, tech companies boast about how their technology is going to change the world; so they can get funding from investors.

It should be illegal for operating systems to harvest user data and the penalty needs to be a percentage of Annual revenue. Microsoft wouldnt be pushing AI if they lose a percentage of revenue per infraction. The percentage needs to be 5% per instance and 30-100 years in prison for executives if they have 3 or more infractions.

It's a bit of a stretch from an historical perspective. My Computer is a hold-over from a time when people were just beginning to own a single computer in the home.

Actually not true egde is excellent for its co pilot feature which gives you sources and can shorten difficult searches. Especially if you're studying in a field of for example medicine where often things can be logically explained but your brain gets hung up on the difficult terminology this is a giant advantage. It's also really useful for knowledge that is somewhat buried in walls of text due to it being a unpopular search and thus often hidden as a secondary info in text about something else or not directly in the title. For example pharmaceutical uses of certain plants. It's also really useful for making sure you understand a topic correctly since you can ask questions about a topic which can be somewhat difficult to do on the spot if your preparating for an exam. All in all I find myself using egde almost exclusively for it's Ai feature 😊

@@cobrazoid I mean it has worked for me so far. Obviously if you use it in a supplemental role instead of solely relying on it, the whole story changes.

So ofc it depends on use case (I mean what doesn't) but I think you shouldn't necessarily just exclude it. Because it is genuinely useful.

I keep each OS on separate drives - practically speaking many of us still need to drop into Windows at the moment, but I'd say 70% of the time now, I am using Linux. There is just no need to use Windows with something like Mint - it's perfect for everyday casual use. I love it.
Microsoft knows that can push this and be ok, even with people uninstalling windows in their own pcs, because the greatest volume of users are corporate and they are forced to use windows either because of lobby or because of a specific software that runs only on windows and is enforced in that context.
@@trollwarlord2967 *For now.* Nothing is stopping them from adding it anyway, and installing linux would be much harder (even if process itself is well known).
What makes me uncomfortable is that it's installed and can't be uninstalled, so they can enable it at any time if they want to and hope that people won't notice.
I switched to Mint for my server and although its supposed to be one of the easiest OSes to use, I'm still having to research terminal commands to setup sharing/permissions/package installations. Until Linux devs make it so that the average person can do 90% of things without touching terminal, I don't see it becoming a viable alternative for the normies.
This!! I left one of my older desktops to my dad and it's still running win10 which he is used to (can't even install win11 coz requirements). But I can't really install Mint or something for him on that desktop because he would straight up refuse to even open a terminal because he would be afraid of fckig something up. I explain to him some settings etc. rarely. But there is a 0% chance I would explain to him even a simple command terminal.
A good thing about the terminal is that it's almost completely universal, many commands are basically the same throughout most Linux distributions (Except for some lower-level distro's like Arch)
@@FlaxterIVAn average user never has to open terminal lol, especially not on a user friendly distro like Linux Mint. If you want to download software you can use their own software center (like MS store or Apple App store).
Ngl normies are kinda boned for the foreseeable future, the driving ethos behind Linux in most forms is learning the OS and the machine, the devs and users like it that way and frankly people will probably become more entrenched as a tide of people demanding things be simplified or stripped/loaded of/with features to accommodate them starts to grow. Best we can do is help folks around us switch over and slowly transfer knowledge so it becomes less arcane by virtue of experience, but it'll take time and a whole lotta effort.

Microsoft leaves them as is during updates. And Group Policy can be enacted on home editions by either using scripts to install group policy editor, or by manually invoking policies by creating their respective keys in the registry. Microsoft leaves these alone because this is how enterprises set up their machines, and they don't want to lose enterprise customers or get sued. Disabling features through group policy is as effective at stopping them functioning, as it is to just uninstall them outright. Once again, because the enterprise customers need their control.
@@robertjenkins6132 You misunderstand, I think. This is not about disabling updates, this is about disabling features, and Microsoft not monkeying around and re-enabling them with updates. Microsoft leaves them as is during updates. And Group Policy can be enacted on home editions by manually invoking policies by creating their respective keys in the registry.

The dependency is more likely due to file explorer architecture than anything. It launches and loads basically all of the shell functionality. If it can't load a component that's expected to be there, it could blow up. They test app compat with thousands of commonly used apps but I don't think any of the debloat tools would be on that list so you're basically playing with fire if you're modifying your Windows install in any way and taking an update.
The most scary thing about interacting with AI is the confidence with which it tells you false information and how much people come to think of AI as "highly intelligent and therefore qualified".
I mean to be fair we have no shortage of humans doing that too 😂
If you are spooked by a text completion algorithm typing out things, then you are putting way too much faith on the thing. Both pro and anti AI camps have built weird myths about the thing.
To be fair, it's not actually AI. It's all just a glorified autofill. We probably won't ever create actual artificial intelligence.
This. I've done some study into convolutional neural networks (not an expert by any means), and the backpropagation training process basically ends up polarising the output nodes. Which causes models to be almost 100% confident that a new category is something it's seen before.

Windows 11 file explorer can’t even remember searches and often can’t find files even though they are RIGHT THERE when you comb over a folder manually.
Indosoft™ Indows 11®
I swear to god the file explorer is so buggy nowadays. Sorting is bugged often; Sometimes I only find things manually, sometimes I only find them through search. Its crazy my download folder especially is bugged
I'm using Dolphin on Linux Mint and it has recursive Search and Filter functions for the current folder, which are very nice.
Linux can search your entire system in miliseconds
It's funny because it worked perfectly for me in Windows XP, 7 and 8 and earlier versions of 10 and then it became worse, in the latest version of 10 and 11 it can't find files that are literally in the folder/path I'm searching in, it's beyond infuriating.

Only big corps need that. my comment was deletd
What shocked me the most about Linux was the speed it found files in file explorers. On Windows, looking up even one file takes ages, on Linux it's almost instantaneous.
No extra code, it literally does what it tells you to do, no more. And in many cases the developers optimized the code using clever algorithms and tricks.
Try it with NTFS on Linux. UNIX filesystems treats files differently than Windows NT does, thereby making it faster when searching.
Nah, it can be instant on windows as well. It's just not often set up by default properly. I used to butt heads with people about this at work because nobody but me would set up indexing properly and they wouldn't believe me that it only took a few seconds to query onedrive.
AI this, AI that. AI everywhere. Everywhere you go has that ridiculous little star sparkle icon and some zesty name like "Gensteid" with the text "Introducing our new AI!".

I disagree with you. Recall should not be disabled by default, it should be uninstalled by default. I do not understand why every piece of software has to be integrated at this point. One of the greatest features of linux is that the user decides what is on their system. With windows, I have so much stuff on my system that I do not need (like why is onedrive installed by default???) that it actually slows the system down.
But uninstalling it removes dependencies for other software.... Thats the problem.
I don't know but Windows has a habit of adding software junk that unnecessarily eats up resources. For example, Microsoft Edge is the default while most people use Firefox and Chrome... Uh no, for Chrome, forget what I just said with all this war against ad blockers.

In my job, I work with C# and also some Microsoft software products. Microsoft started serving machine-translated TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION a few years ago. This means, every time I google something regarding C#, I will be served a poorly translated, misleading and sometimes plain wrong article in my mother tongue.
Up until recently, Microsoft allowed me to switch back to English by clicking a little Globe icon. This is not possible anymore. Because „AI“ is now smart enough to translate accurate technical information with references, code examples, … - yeah, right…

Jumping through all of those hoops seems like a lot more work than using a Linux distribution. _Sure_ you have to re-learn your tools for a solid week but if all you're doing is web browsing and the occasional search of your file system then that's no big deal. If you *need* Windows, _fine._ However, if you can use open-source alternatives for your tasks (and PortableApps is practically a compendium of such things), then you should be able to make the leap.

You will be contextualized. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Joe Biden’s administration and national security strategies have used the term "Domestic Violent Extremism" (DVE) to describe individuals or groups posing threats due to ideological motivations. This term broadly encompasses various protest movements and extremist ideologies, including right-wing, racially motivated groups, as well as some environmental and political activists. However, the use of this label has raised concerns about overreach, as it could stigmatize non-violent activists or protesters engaging in constitutionally protected speech.
Critics argue that the "DVE" designation can be too expansive, potentially targeting groups like Black Lives Matter activists, environmental protesters, and others under broad interpretations of extremism. The Biden administration has maintained that such categorization is essential for national security but has faced backlash from civil liberties groups, who warn that these measures might disproportionately affect certain communities and lead to unjust surveillance or criminalization of activism

If AI products lead to financial losses or compliance issues, companies can't simply hide behind the unpredictability of the technology. Courts might start treating AI-related errors as a form of negligence if due diligence isn’t demonstrated.
In short, your comment highlights a looming challenge: selling AI-based solutions without guaranteeing accuracy could become a legal minefield.
You are likely to be held responsible unless your product clearly limits liability and provides disclaimers (similar to how OpenAI does).

there is a project called Linux wacom project that makes wacom tablets work on linux, and many distros come with it pre-installed, and there's some tutorials that teach how to install clip studio and zbrush with wine (sorry for the bad grammar, english isn't my first language)

Microsoft never said win10 would be the last version of windows. An engineer called it "the last" as in "latest". Tech media went ham on this statement. Nobody really wants a new version of Windows anyway. But no, they never promised win10 would be the last
“Co-pilot” appeared in an “update” to my Win 10 machine. I uninstalled it.
*Hears that windows 11 has a recall function that takes screenshots of your computer at random intervals, and turns itself on randomly*

There's nothing more embarrassing than leaving concerning images of... researching... certain things... on a semi-regular basis...
I absolutely HATE windows 11, with or without recall or the other future cr@p they will put into it. I recently bought a mini PC which came with win11 preinstalled. I tried to use it, but couldn't stand it. After 10 minutes I gave up and installed Linux on it.

The Recall-Explorer dependency is a dirty trick. Move a couple of function calls from explorer to recall then call them from explorer... if the functions aren't there the whole thing messes up... and you are FORCED to have recall on your system.
For this reason alone My windows experience will not go beyond Windows 10. I will use it so long as it runs and until I can't use it anymore, then I will find another OS to use.
It is possible to disable Recall via DSIM command. It stays disabled after after a reboot. I wonder for how long :(

It can be permanently uninstalled, with no updates bringing it back, just not in the settings menu.
You can use Group Policy or their associated registry keys to disable Recall, Copilot, and other unnecessary but dependent features and they will STAY disabled between updates, unless Microsoft wants to piss off their enterprise customers.
I don't know if it's true or not but I read somewhere that this doesn't work on Home editions for disabling updates, that you have to have a Pro edition or higher.
@@robertjenkins6132 You misunderstand, I think. This isn't about disabling updates, this is about disabling features, and Microsoft not monkeying around and re-enabling them with updates. Microsoft leaves them as is during updates.
And Group Policy can be enacted on home editions by either using scripts to install group policy editor, or by manually invoking policies by creating their respective keys in the registry.
Microsoft leaves these alone because this is how enterprises set up their machines, and they don't want to lose enterprise customers or get sued. Disabling features through group policy is as effective at stopping them functioning, as it is to just uninstall them outright. Once again, because the enterprise customers need their control.

What?! Disabling a horrible feature actually gives me the Windows 7 file explorer back?! This sounds like a win-win to me.
The dependency is more likely due to file explorer architecture than anything. It launches and loads basically all of the shell functionality. If it can't load a component that's expected to be there, it could blow up. They test app compat with thousands of commonly used apps but I don't think any of the debloat tools would be on that list so you're basically playing with fire if you're modifying your Windows install in any way and taking an update.
