It assists with refining your writing by rephrasing your sentences, modifying your tone, and tweaking the length of your text based on your preferences.
I don’t remember when was the last time I wrote a full sentence in Notepad yet alone needed an Ai redaction. Because it’s a fucking notepad! It’s for writing notes not essays!
First, they came for Wordpad, and I did not speak out–because I did not use Wordpad…
Notepad++
More like Notepad–, amirite
Dunno if I’m misunderstanding you or you’re misunderstanding the person you replied to, but Notepad++ is a third party program unaffiliated with windows or notepad. It’s also an astronomical step up from notepad and it’s free and has optional plugins and whatnot.
I’m aware, it was mostly a joke about these “features” making Notepad worse. Nevertheless, thank you :)
asks AI politely to show line break characters
The fuck? This must be on Win 11. My Notepad still has to be told whether to search Down or Up, just like in 1990.
As it ahould be!
Notepad++ ftw
Notepad# when?
That’s what the article is about
Oh my God, AI and a subscription model. Kill me now.
Of course subscription
Didn’t you know that AI can only run on servers?
/S, of course
Nobody uses notepad the way Microsoft thinks people use notepad.
Classic windows L. Come to the light side come to the linux master race.
Enshitification will continue until moral improves.
Well that’s weird, because I didn’t need AI to improve my writing.
All it took was one very good and very short book:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Style
I don’t agree with everything in it, but I agree with most of it.
Personally I don’t use Notepad for writing writing. Its a functional writing app. A app for copying and pasting code, or making a list, or crude ascii art. If I need to bold something, or do text formatting, thats when I open up the several orders of magnitude larger office apps.
Exactly. I write well enough. I only use AI if I’m just stuck for words and want to get a suggestion. Sometimes it’s good enough, sometimes it’s way off base, but was enough kick to get things going in my brain.
I’d appreciate some added AI to give suggestions occasionally, but it needs to be implemented well. I hate when Word tells me to phrase something differently as if it 100% correct. No, I worded it that way because that’s how I want to say it.
The real damage will be when everybody starts sounding alike because there are defined acceptable ways to say things.
Yeah. I hate reading “essays” generated by an AI.
Keep it short for better reader experience.Everytime I see a commercial where someone uses AI to make something larger and embellish and such, I think of the other commercials where people use the same AI to summarize it for them.
There’s a place for more formal writing.
But the point of using precise, formal language is the intent behind it. If you’re just RNG-ing it it loses all meaning.
Please put AI in my toilet too. Please I am begging.
you are joking but I am sure that will come too, toilet AI doing health checks based on the color and consistency of your poo
And the collected data will be sold to every type of insurance provider you have.
It’s gonna be real confused with the amount of beets I eat
health checks based on the color and consistency of your poo
That’s already a thing. I am talking about LLM in Toilet LOL.
not in the form of a camera staring at your butthole from your household toilet though.
I’ve heard of Mench on a Bench but never Robotty on the Potty
Or for the masochistic windows user in your life:
I’m not convinced anyone actually likes vim. They are just use it to be edgy.
I don’t use it for windows because notepad++ exists, but I actually like vim because it’s 100% distraction free (none of the extra formating settings and such to distract me). Same reason I like nano.
I love notepad++, but to me, both have different uses. Notepad is like my basic sticky pad just to copy-paste basic stuff to it and come back to reference throughout the day. Also, notepad opens instantly and everything else is slightly slower. It’s just the reason why I like it more. Notepad++ is for editing and manipulating data for me.
One of the uses of notepad was also that it’s installed by default, and was a place you could be assured wouldn’t mess with your text. No formatting, no weird characters you didn’t ask for.
Notepad++ is great, but you can’t be assured it’s installed on any arbitrary Windows machine.
And ephemeral unless you specifically wanted to save something. Since I got win 11 at work instead of disappearing on reboot the next time I open it I get 50 fucking notepad instances and I can’t find the actual doc that would’ve been useful to save because its in a background tab. Fuck this shit.
You can turn it off, but the fact that you have to go into the settings and toddle about is ridiculous.
It’s a notepad, why does it even need settings to twiddle?
Oh my god that drives me nuts. I haven’t saved it so why is it still here?
Can’t you install Notepad++ to a thumb drive and run it by just plugging it into a Windows box? As a bonus, you can save Ann your text files to the thumbprint so they’re always right where you expect them.
You can, but plugging thumb drives into work machines is not always kosher
I don’t have admin privileges and can’t install Firefox on my work computer but I can install Firefox on a thumb drive and then run it from the thumb drive because IT admins are idiots
*Linux mint text editor
As if the new notepad wasn’t already enough of a downgrade.
AI will never come for vim!
Recently, another innocent app, Notepad, also got some AI features.
Dude, you just talked about Notepad. You are thinking of Microsoft Paint. Your article needs to be proofread.
Almost like an AI wrote it
Oh yes, I write my articles in notepad, how did you know?
