Not helpful for working when using your devices to make money. I don't need a pal, buddy, sidekick or copilot. I'm trying to concentrate while working not be distracted by foolishness.
When I bought my devices they were tools I could use to make money. Each update is a nightmare.
AI ONLY belongs in a container "sandboxed" not at the OS or Ui/UX layer. I use AI but open-source offline models that don't interfere with my working. These autocomplete toys with the psychological nonsense and emotional tone policing serves no purpose.I will not be buying any new devices THAT DOWNGRADES my user experience.
Why not just disable the AI features? Many people who don't want to use them do so. I'm with @CEParsons , I don't understand how AI being active prevents you from earning a living. I don't like AI myself and refuse to use it and deliberately bought a device that won't get the advanced AI. Co-Pilot is a Microsoft thing, Gemini is a Google thing. Both of which can be turned off, ignored or disabled. The assistants aren't meant to be your pal or buddy, they are there to assist you *should you want/need it* They don't pop up on their own unless called into action. For some people it's just easier to ask the assistant to perform an action rather than type it out. Do you use talk to text, speech recognition, spell check? All those are forms of AI and have been around for ages.
