Microsoft is integrating AI capabilities into Notepad, allowing users to generate text via a new Copilot feature. Users must log in with their Microsoft account, select text for reference, and prompt the AI to create written content. This change raises questions about the necessity of AI in a tool traditionally used for straightforward tasks. Despite Notepad's history as a minimalist app, Microsoft has introduced multiple updates, including this feature, alongside a lightweight command line editor. Many users find the focus on AI unnecessary for a tool that is effective for quick note-taking and plain text editing.
Notepad's AI Write feature requires a Microsoft account login and allows users to generate text, refining, discarding, or keeping the output as needed.
While integrating AI into Notepad shows Microsoft's ambition, many wonder if such features are necessary for a simple text editor primarily used for quick tasks.
