Beats running "copilot", possibly the most invasive spyware ever.  The

+1. However, after a few years with Co-Pilot, a lot of users are going
to find it impossible to use a computer without it. Once again, nobody
should underestimate how short-sighted people are and how willing they
are to have something else do their job for them. Once people get used
to having a machine document things for them, they will refuse to revert
to the old way of doing things. To give you an example, ask yourself how
many people nowadays actually remember the numbers of the people they
call all the time or basic facts about the world. They've relegated
those tasks to their smartphones and now wonderful why their long-term
memory is such shit.
