    I really don’t want AI. Can’t it just be a regular notepad? Or a regular calculator? I’m a human and I want to do human things not be replaced by a machine. I want the software to serve me.

      It was specifically never intended to, that’s why we had wordpad and write, until M$ killed them to push office

      There are a lot of config files that break if edited in a rich text editor, notepad makes sure that every machine comes with a package that can cleanly edit flat text files for that reason.

          Which write does, and on occasion was accidentally used to create malformed plaintext files that borked many a device

          So they made sure to include at least one explicitly plaintext only editor, to prevent such mistakes.

    At risk of completely triggering lemmy… that button is basically an Ad. It apparently only works if you are signed into a Microsoft account and have the right subscription, otherwise all you can do is view the available plans.
