Microsoft is testing AI-powered text generation in Notepad for Windows 11 Insiders with Copilot Plus PCs, allowing users to [1]draft content from prompts or build on existing text through a right-click menu. The update also introduces Paint's AI sticker generator and Snipping Tool enhancements including automatic screenshot cropping. The Write feature requires Microsoft account sign-in and uses the same credit system as other Windows 11 AI features.

Notepad, PBrush and (formerly) WordPad were simple tools designed to do the bare minimum. In fact I think Notepad was originally designed as a demo of the multiline text control. Could we please just leave them all alone and add these "features" into a new app that I can uninstall or ignore? Thx.

But how else will the big evil corp be able to inflate the "number of users" for their AI bullshit to their investors to prove its "Worth it" to invest, without the big evil corp making it in every single aspect of our daily lives, effectively inflating the numbers to the moon !?
