Pressing the copilot button to instantly bring up a text box where you can interact with an LLM is amazing UI/UX for productivity. LLMs are by far the best way to retrieve information(that doesnt need to be correct).
If this had been released with Agentic features that allow it to search the web, use toolscripts like fetching time/date and stuff from the OS, use recall, properly integrate with the microsoft app suite. It would be game changing.
We already have proof that this is a popular feature for users since its been integrated in every mobile phone for the past 10 years.

What is the point in retrieving information if it isn’t correct?

We just found out the person who makes job announcements asking for more years of experience with a technology than the technology’s years in existence
LLM is just a slow way to do things that have better ways to do them.
Or to have an expensive autocorrect do your thinking.
Upvoted. It’s utterly useless.
So you agree that pressing a button to bring up a box that you can query with natural language is a good feature you just think the LLM part is slower and computationally inefficient? I could agree with that if there was something better proposed. I just see an LLM being a good tech for this because of how dynamic it is and with the addition of tools to do specific tasks in a determinism fashion its a powerful tool for the users.

you’ve obviously retrieved your thinking in the best possible way, by far.
Do you disagree that phones have had assistants built in for the past decade? Siri was released in 2011 old man.
It also has been disabled since 2011.
on your device?
Yep, disabled it the very moment it was released and made sure to disable it on any device after that. Which were only two. And I they were both laptops … I never had an iPhone.
every phone
Not every one. I have GrapheneOS on the phone. And Linux on the computer. Like some nerds here. And there hasn’t been any assistant popping up on mine…
Also don’t think whether that’s going to be built into any major operating system is much of an opinion. That’s more a fact 😉But yeah, whether that’s useful… I’ve read all kinds of opinions on that. I think we need more factual data on user efficiency. I’m positive we’ll get some more studies on that.

ah yes i forgot to list the 100 edge cases that cover 0.0001% of the phone market but you know what I mean.
I think we will get something similar to copilot on linux, obviously there will be distros that dont ship it but people are working on projects and once the open source models improve and the UI/UX workflows get polished up I believe major distro will ship them. The linux foundation owns the MCP protocol which is the goto protocol for AI’s to interact with things.
I also doubt they provide a huge increase in productivity. I’d say between 0% and 10% productivty increase and its more of a quality of life and small time saver than a powerhouse productivty tool like its marketing suggests.
I am so confused as to how the majority of people view this community.
This post right now shows -12 vote count. So does that mean this is a popular opinion…? Or do the majority of people not know how this works?
I down-voted because it’s a stupid opinion. I mean “information that doesn’t need to be correct” makes no sense, and “built into every OS” will never happen ever because it’s technically impossible and it’s a Microsoft product that they will abandon in a few years.
