Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
