I bet AI would be helpful here!!
"I'm New Clippy. I'm here to help you, like it or not!"
Hey, Clippy! Change the settings so that I can view hidden files . Clippy: Ok. Shutting down the nuclear reactor.
Not great, not terrible...
But it was, in fact, terrible, very terrible indeed
I send the gif of that scene at least once a week at work over teams
There a lot of non AI implementations that would be more reliably logical, like presenting options in multiple groups instead of only having a single location buried in submenus.
Like mouse color and size could be in an appearence AND in a general mouse settings that includes mouse appearance and behavior. They could design it so the setting itself is self contained, so it can behave the same way no matter how it is grouped for presentation.
I would expect AI to make up illogical groupings, because it doesn't understand context.
I believe they were joking since Microsoft is pushing AI into everything these days.
You're not around a lot people that joke, are you?
Ever heard of Poe's Law?
