    This feature is completely optional and is never turned on by default.

    AI desktops sound like a privacy nightmare but right in the article they say, it’s not the default. Every time MS adds another shitware feature there is lots of warning, like this, and there is time for concerned users to find work arounds or jump ship to a more sane OS. We need less clickbait titles and more “how do we work around it” because MS doens’t care about users needs or concerns only increasing revenue.

        You know which OS wont flip a switch to enable AI slop features? EVERY OTHER OS

        Install Linux or BSD, if you are rich buy a Mac that needs replacing in 3 years.

        Then start migrating. You could set yourself on fire, as protest, in front of the Microsoft head office and they would just count it as ‘engagement.’
