No matter what, since these features are cloud-based, your data will need to be processed on a foreign server, not on your device. Microsoft promises it isn’t storing or abusing your prompts or whatever appears on your screen. After the Recall snafi, it’s increasingly difficult to trust the Windows maker. Now that Microsoft wants you to put privacy concerns aside for the sake of its ever-present AI, it’s going to have to offer a more compelling use case than an AI that hums on command.

yeah no thanks

Microsoft has tried promoting hardware-specific AI capabilities, ... and then “Copilot+ PCs” in 2024

just like to interject for a
moment. What you're refering to as a PC, is in fact, Copilot/PC, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Copilot + PC. PCs are not an operating system unto themselves, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Copilot system made useful by the Copilot corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by Microsoft.
