> “Take a screenshot every few seconds” legitimately sounds like a suggestion from a low-parameter LLM that was given a prompt like “How do I add an arbitrary AI feature to my operating system as quickly as possible in order to make investors happy?”

No, actual AI is smarter than Microsoft managers, it seems:

Here are some ideas for adding an arbitrary AI feature to your operating system quickly to make investors happy:

- AI File Search: NLP for file/setting search (search files by NLP querying)

- Auto Window Layouts: AI-suggested window organization ("coding mode", "research mode" depending on detected usage patterns)

- Smart Notifications: automatic notification condensing to reduce clutter

- AI Clipboard: Keeping a categorized clipboard paste based on content

- Predictive App Launcher: Suggests apps based on daytime, usage, recently opened files

- AI Wallpaper/Theme: Smart visual suggestions, i.e. wallpaper based on current weather, mood, etc.

- Voice Quick Commands: AI-based voice OS control ("Open browser")

- AI System optimization: for example, content-based disk space cleanup

Any of the above are better than this nonsense.



Some of these features already exist in Windows such as the predictive app launcher, voice commands, and system optimization.

For example, when a meeting that had an attachment of some spreadsheet is coming up, it's already in my start menu.
