Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Worst part is people will keep using this garbage. The brain rot is so real.
People will always gravitate towards tools that make their lives easier. That's never gong to change, and is a driving force behind why we have the technology we do now.
That said, this AI shit is clearly not ready for primetime. I do not trust it to have access to my files. Machine learning and LLMs have their place - my phone's keyboard (FUTO Keyboard) runs a local LLM model that learns my swiping/typing habits and trains the predictive text feature on that data - but that's a very specialized application, and I have control over it.
I'm not really talking about LLMs or ML in general. I'm talking about capitalism and enshitification.
I use LLMs every day from the comfort of my Linux systems.
