    First, you should be able to interact with it naturally, in text or voice, and have it understand you.

    Second, it should be able to see what you see and be able to offer guided support.

    And third, it should be able to take action on your behalf.

    Fourth and finally, it should be able to destroy your corporeal form and live on as digital-you liking your aunt’s dog pictures on Instagram and writing Facebook posts about immigrants taking our jobs, with just as many creative slurs as you would use.

    (e.g, Raspberry pi, building your own pc)

    It’s obvious that Windows and Microsoft remain as evil as they were in the 00s when they basically singlehandedly held back web development with ie6 for a fucking decade.

    i think the whole problem is that they call it AI, which basically describes it as something that it just cant deliver

    At this point, regular use of AI should forbid you from voting. It not only means that you can’t make decisions on your own, but that your choice can be affected by the people owning the AI service.

      Someone I work with puts every question they have into GPT. They are completely incapable of having an original thought anymore.

      GPT is causing real life brain rot for the general public.

      All your points are a bit questionable:

      1. Sure, you should click no to almost everything Microsofts asks anywhere, but that hardly helps. Use privacy tools like O&O Shut Up to actually disable spy stuff.
      2. God no. Vivaldi is nice if you must have Chromium (this is made by the guys who used to build Opera, before it was sold to shady new owners), otherwise Firefox.
      3. See point 1.
      4. Just uninstall the damn thing, or some tools of point 1 might do this for you.
      5. If you must, sure.

      Using Enterprise version of Windows is the best option, it already has most of the malicious stuff left out.

      google as default browser

      You sweet summer child, Google is as bad if not even worse than Microsoft. Chrome is no longer the browser the memes that glazed it used to depict it as.

      Yah… You dont own your OS on W11, you had better script those changes or they might be reverted on major updates. (They do that for the default browser all the time, and they will likely break that script every year or two)

      This is why the [gestures broadly to Lemmy community] evangalizes for Linux so much, everyone is going have to learn a new OS anyway. Aside from what ever Apple is doing, there really are only two choices, a free and open source suite of software that is trusted because everything is public and auditable, or an OS that activly contributes to the creation of the Torment Nexus. We do get that some applications wont work on linux, but my response to that is to look for a new version anyway, your living on borrowed time. Windows 11 is rolling full speed ahead on breaking compatibility with everything Microsoft did not make (and therefore cant update to collect data on you).

    With 68% of consumers reporting using AI to support their decision making, voice is making this easier.

    sure, maybe as a reference tool. not as fucking something that can perform actions on my computer

    Second, it should be able to see what you see and be able to offer guided support. And third, it should be able to take action on your behalf.

          So many people just immediately gave into ChatGPT, I doubt Microsoft’s actions will do that much damage. Besides, for anyone not using it it’s pretty easy to ignore. I don’t do a single thing on my PC that requires much beyond opening a game or Firefox so I don’t feel the pressure to leave at the moment.

            Ironically, one of the things that I’m moving to Linux for is the gaming performance boost that I’ve heard some people report due to the lack of Windows bloat and telemetry running in the background all the time.

            Bazzite, the Linux version I keep seeing people recommend for gaming and people new to Linux has had a big boost in users in the past 6 weeks or so, apparently, that people are completely attributing to Microsoft.

              No, but those two things have been such a massive driver for Linux adoption, that it isn’t really relevant.

                I’m not trying to belittle the contribution of Valve or Proton or anything, completely agree it’s a massive contributor. There’s also a lot of work done by a lot of people to get us to that point (and tbh I flipped a long time ago and did more console gaming, so I kinda see it from the opposite perspective - proton has brought back PC gaming for me rather than allowing me to break free of windows.)

      Honestly, big shoutout to Microsoft for the strong push to get me in Linux’s loving embrace.

      Double shoutout to them for making it very easy to not even considering to come back.

      That and backwards compatibility for Win7 & Win10. Shares of those OSs have gone up and several application developers have announced continued support or are advocating for unlocking/keeping secure those OSs.

      I have said the same as well. Prior to them dropping the fat grumpy that is 11, I was all in on the windows ecosystem for myself. I heavily modified it of course so it didn’t have a bunch of the nonsense but overall, the experience was good. But then they started warping 10, and then they came out with 11 which was massive garbage at release and now is worse garbage years down the road. And with that AI outlook, I’m full on bailing from everything.

        MS has to justify thier cost of spending so much money on AI datacenters, they need everyone to buy it to offset the unprofitable cost of AI usage. thats why they are so desperate and suddenly trying to force W11 down peoples throat.

      I’ve got two friends that are right in the edge of trying. One has a spare thin client that he wants to PoC with and was asking for distros and how to install. The other was thinking of jumping in the deep end with Arch, and I’ve warned him, but the wiki is solid, he’s not dumb, and Arch install is better than it ever has been.
