    I don’t mind the idea of CoPilot. The problem is that CoPilot works for Microsoft, not for me.

    It would be cool if the OS-AI could take a look at the Windows Event Viewer, find out everything that is misbehaving, and figure out if there are actionable fixes. Alas, it will take further AI and harness development before that sort of thing is practical. Probably several years from now?

    In any case, you can uninstall the AI modules of Windows, and turn them off. Of course, Microsoft will try to make an uninvited return. I use the paid version of ShutUp10 to have it automatically uninstall CoPilot and to reassert my rules whenever Microsoft tries to make an unwanted change.

    I recommend ShutUp10 for a pretty simple reason: It has a simple GUI and explains the impact of the options you tweak. For people who aren’t interested in becoming a master technician, that is very helpful for just getting on with one’s day without sacrificing privacy.
