    This may be useful for some, but I can’t say I’m thrilled with this personally. The thing Explorer needs most right now is focus on performance and polish, not more MS service junk bolted on.

    A better architecture to add these features with would be the model used by the macOS Finder, where things like image transformations can be added by any third party and show up in the same “Quick Actions” and Services menus that first party stuff shows up in, all of which can be disabled by the user.

    A nice generic framework like that wouldn’t help MS sell copilot subs and harvest user data though, so no chance of that happening.

    I know this is Tildes and all, but I can't help but feel like a gif of Michael Scott saying No, God please no would be the only appropriate response. I do not need an AI in my own file structure...

    Can't wait for MS to make this generally available with a GPO to block it for enterprises. It's like playing whack-a-mole with all of their AI products crammed down our throat.
