Lots of comments in here saying this sends stuff to Microsoft and yet that isn't true. It's an offline local feature.
I personally look forward to giving it a try.
Perhaps for a few quarters or years until you're locked in. Infinite growth demanded by investors make the eventual harvest as sure to come as taxes and death
Did they make hard commitments to 100% keep the data local and never use it to spy on you? What does their privacy policy say? Come on dude, we're talking about microsoft. You're more likely to receive millions from a nigerian prince than to get some privacy from them.

All local. Nothing sent. You can choose to not believe it, but it's deceptive to imply they don't say it's local.
If you don't believe them it's one thing but they said what they said.
That's better than I thought. For the moment.
It only mentions the snapshot storage and processing. It's a perfect solution for them. The AI will crunch the data and report only it's findings to Microsoft for advertising purposes. They save on storage and electricity by offloading the data harvesting to your machine.
I see, they don't state anywhere that the results of the screenshot analysis are never transmitted to them.
Well you don't know that, they're telling you that. First issue.
The second is that it can and will change in time.
