Missed a Few Stuff...

Yea, not really liking the idea of having AI baked into the OS.

Copilot

ChatGPT

Quite a bit of other stuff as well, but it's more on the developers end and probably be boring reads (those linked may be as well, but especially with Copilot and a lot of Windows users on here, should be worth noting), that could work it's way down to the end user. As more and more software software vendors get into "vibe coding", I do have to wonder what the state of programs will be for end users. It's already gotten bleak, but I imagine that it will be even more so, but that's just me speculating.

you know i want to stop automatic updates for LOTS OF REASONS but copilot will make it mandatory (remember my slogan for them copilot IT'S LIKE BING, ONLY MORE SO .
either a advertising slogan or a warning for those smart enough to take my meaning

Updates were always a double edged sword and while it may (emphasis on may) solve some problems, it inherently brings instability to the system.

Copilot is also just a huge security risk (and we are starting to see the ROI on this "AI" stuff not being all that it's cracked up to be). I do wonder if there will always be able to block mandatory updates as it will always be a game of catch up and can one really state for sure that they have removed all ports of communication?

Of course, will one really need to worry about updates when the feature that these OEMs want is an end user on a thin client (NUC) with just enough firmware to bootstrap an Azure instances that actually has "their" OS on it?
