Microsoft has started rolling out a.i. to its Windows Operating System for PCs. This “feature” pretends to make it easier to find documents on a computer.

What they should have done is create a reverse index for document retrieval by contents keyword. That proven technology has been around for decades, and doesn’t use a.i.

Microsoft’s tendency to force a.i. unto users of its Windows operating system poses significant threats to privacy and the safety of corporate secrets.

For those of us who have a business to protect, what operating systems help safeguard privacy?

    Downvotes are not “I disagree with this person”

    A downvote used properly is to bury misinformation, low effort posts, off-topic posts, and as you say - violation of rules or attacks on others.

    This is an example of a low effort post that can easily be misinformation because it cannot be verified.

      You are right. What I meant by my reply is that the person I replied to forced their opinion. But still downvoting low-effort is not great imo. Not everyone wants to spend an hour finding the source or writing a 10 paragraph explanation

        You suggest that a low effort question that is read by hundreds or thousands is better than quickly searching the internet?

          I suggest that people should stop being toxic and excessively judgeful. I’m not saying that low effort posting is good. I’m trying to justify it
