Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to integrate AI shortcuts, or what it calls AI actions, into the File Explorer in Windows 11. These shortcuts let you right-click on a file and quickly get to Windows AI features like blurring the background of a photo, erasing objects, or even summarizing content from Office files.

Four image actions are currently being tested in the latest Dev Channel builds of Windows 11, including Bing visual search to find similar images on the web, the blur background and erase objects features found in the Photos app, and the remove background option in Paint.

There's no need to be hyperbolic. I'm happy with my decision to de-Windows as much as I can (which still isn't 100%, btw) but this assertion is just ridiculous.

I literally cannot use a program that has AI crap integrated into it, because of data security rules in the contracts I have to follow. If I used Windows 11, I would have to never use Notepad, and find a way to remove Explorer. (Explorer creates the desktop icons and taskbar, so good luck with that.)

Cool, so that's a specific problem with your needed use case. That's not what you said before.
