Microsoft has integrated AI into Notepad by introducing Copilot to assist users in generating text.
The update raises questions about the necessity of AI in a simple text editor like Notepad, which has traditionally been used for quick and basic tasks.
Microsoft's AI ambitions for Notepad started a year ago, with features like 'Rewrite' for text tweaking based on user requirements.
Notepad, a long-standing Windows tool, has seen significant changes with the addition of generative AI features, similar to the enhancements made to Paint with AI-integrated tools.
