Pressing the copilot button to instantly bring up a text box where you can interact with an LLM is amazing UI/UX for productivity. LLMs are by far the best way to retrieve information(that doesnt need to be correct).

If this had been released with Agentic features that allow it to search the web, use toolscripts like fetching time/date and stuff from the OS, use recall, properly integrate with the microsoft app suite. It would be game changing.

We already have proof that this is a popular feature for users since its been integrated in every mobile phone for the past 10 years.

every phone

Not every one. I have GrapheneOS on the phone. And Linux on the computer. Like some nerds here. And there hasn't been any assistant popping up on mine...
Also don't think whether that's going to be built into any major operating system is much of an opinion. That's more a fact 😉

But yeah, whether that's useful... I've read all kinds of opinions on that. I think we need more factual data on user efficiency. I'm positive we'll get some more studies on that.

ah yes i forgot to list the 100 edge cases that cover 0.0001% of the phone market but you know what I mean.

I think we will get something similar to copilot on linux, obviously there will be distros that dont ship it but people are working on projects and once the open source models improve and the UI/UX workflows get polished up I believe major distro will ship them. The linux foundation owns the MCP protocol which is the goto protocol for AI's to interact with things.

I also doubt they provide a huge increase in productivity. I'd say between 0% and 10% productivty increase and its more of a quality of life and small time saver than a powerhouse productivty tool like its marketing suggests.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.


6. Defend your opinion


This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
