Notepad has always been about simplicity. Adding AI feels like bloat opposed to a feature users were asking for (or would ever want.) Local models are fine, but tying them to Copilot PCs or subscriptions just fragments the user base. If Microsoft wants this to stick, they should make it optional, and stop slowing down the tool people actually rely on.

AI has been in Notepad since May[0], not sure why the register chose a misleading title for this stub
