In 3.5 years, Notepad.exe has gone from “barely maintained” to “it writes for you” (arstechnica.com)

I first ran into the Copilot integration in Notepad a couple of days ago and immediately turned it right the fuck off.

In November, Microsoft began testing an update that allowed users to rewrite or summarize text in Notepad using generative AI. Another preview update today takes it one step further, allowing you to write AI-generated text from scratch with basic instructions (the feature is called Write, to differentiate it from the earlier Rewrite).

Like Rewrite and Summarize, Write requires users to be signed into a Microsoft Account, because using it requires you to use your monthly allotment of Microsoft's AI credits. Per this support page, users without a paid Microsoft 365 subscription get 15 credits per month. Subscribers with Personal and Family subscriptions get 60 credits per month instead.

Microsoft notes that all AI features in Notepad can be disabled in the app's settings, and obviously, they won't be available if you use a local account instead of a Microsoft Account.

Being blind doesn't mean there is nothing there.

You can handle expressions you make not being literal but just cant handle the same notion I return.

I bet you're going real places...or at least one...someday...if they let you...even though you're literally not allowed to ask.

this is the part where the other human has walked away from you. You find yourself still thinking about this stranger. You mutter some more some rebuttles, subconsciously hoping it makes you realize the true source of your pain.

Long suppressed emotional injuries that can only be understood and not faught. You... negotiate...and struggle...thoughts are interrupted...but yet you push the understanding aside and repeat the cycle.
