Notepad now supports AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite on Copilot+ PCs, with no subscription required. If you have a subscription, you can seamlessly switch between local and cloud models based on your needs. If you’re not signed in or don’t have a subscription, you can use the local model to accomplish your tasks. For now, these features support English only, making premium AI more accessible and flexible for everyone.

Your username doesn’t check out… Everything you type in notepad goes to Microsoft now… I can’t understand what is awesome about having an ai try and figure out my text in notes pad.
Would you be better served switching from notepad++ to vs code?
Where does it say everything you type in notepad goes to Microsoft now? It doesn’t lol. The screenshot even shows that the AI can be done completely on device.
You don’t understand how using AI to help with writing is awesome?
Why would I use vs code just for taking notes? I use VS code for programming.
Because everything Microsoft has said, even when using Copilot + AI local still sends data to microsoft. Sound like privacy, is more like pushing the actual resource compute local while still sending data home.
No, I don’t. It is lazy and not awesome at all. Every single research paper that has come out says it does one of two things (often both): wastes your time making you think you are being more efficient when you are not, AND makes you stupid. Your crutch disengages your brain, and makes it harder and harder for you to do it your self.
And if you are taking notes, what the hell is AI doing?
You said notepad++ which has a lot of features via plug ins. So I would assume you would want more functionality than simply a text editor, hence why I said it. If I am stuck on a windows computer, I use it for code AND notes. It works well for either case. There is even an extension for that.
