If I'm reading this correctly this runs locally and will requirean NPU, so would not be present or working without AI dedicated hardware?
It honestly sounds useful and I would be a little excited to use it, but I imagine Microsoft will collect the data in some way which would be bad as it pretty much records your screen all the time (I somehow doubt all the info the AI collects will be actually stored locally)?
Hopefuly one day there will be a point when a similar software will be developed that runs 100% locally, storing the data locally and have no internet connectivity and just be a useful tool.
Good news is that unless you have Qualcomm CPU (or one with integrated NPU in the long run) you are safe from it for now
Yeah you just about summed up my thoughts about the feature.
It sounds like it could be genuinely useful, but I could never trust Microsoft to do it right, no matter how much they insist it's local only.
