I love Microsoft Launcher because it has backups, so I don't lose my arrangement. I can use different devices without having to arrange everything again.

    I've been using Microsoft launcher for a couple of years now. It is really good. I'll give the beta a shot.
    I the other hand I've found that Copilot (chatgpt in Microsoft disguise) gives wrong answers for nearly 30% of my questions. So I'd tag it as 'use at your own risk'.
    Yes, sometimes it is artificial idiocy.

      Well, copilot won't go anywhere on Android as Google Gemini will be the default in the future.

              No seriously, who in their right mind wants the neighbourhood creeper sitting inside our houses photographing our every action, private or otherwise, and then sending the footage to his creepy buddies in the creeper HQ who will post it online on the dark web and have the global creeps conglomerates bid pennies for all of these stolen private photos, videos, sound clippings, behaviour pattern...every private thing that the neighbourhood creep has managed to slyly spy and capture about our daily lives?

              Do you want to get creeped on? Because this is how you get creeped on in every which way. And a BIG FYI is that Amazon, M$FT, Google, META, etc. ALL are already doing this through their telemetry, analytics, profiling tools and selling our data to ad agencies around the world for peanuts who then sell it to who knows whom for a little more than peanuts. And finally some 1st/3rd/nth party contractor sitting in India, Nigeria, Brazil, etc. will be in possession of the sound clippings that Alexa eavesdropped upon where you were crying to the wife about not being able to pay your CC bills this month.

              Surprise!!! Now you get an ad for a Chime card, which magically appears in the nick of time to lengthen the rope that you can...perform gymnastics with. This is not the future folks, it's the present.

                  Ai is just so useless and not needed in human life only in few sections as same as assistant apps and they only there for useless ads and more and more bloatware on your device also they more they get updated the more slowing down your device

                  Also they sacrificed proccessor space of the device for ai that im sure we never use

                    Well, that's a good reason to avoid this launcher.

                      It seems that the new AI is pretty stupid to be called intelligence.

Never in my life have I panicked and rushed to generate an AI image, all while thinking "I wish I had a generative AI one swipe away!" and I don't think anyone else was either.

                        Imo this is just some data collection thing for these companies

                            I want to be left alone and not have AI bots always commenting on what I'm asking or searching for. It's so annoying dude

                              lol, from the tag line i thought this was about a password screen function on pc's. i was going to ask whether you could ask it to put in the password for you so you can log into someone else's machine without haveing to actually hack it.

                                IMHO this whole AI trend is stupid. AI everywhere, next step chip with AI in toilet paper.
