    Key notes

    • Microsoft announced a Copilot key for future Windows 11 PCs.
    • Apparently, the key will probably replace the second Ctrl or the Print Screen
    • Not everyone’s thrilled about the idea.

     

    Microsoft has just announced today that it will give a dedicated Copilot key to future Windows 11 PCs’ keyboards. But apparently, not everyone’s thrilled about the idea. 

     

    Replacing the second Ctrl or Print Screen, the dedicated Copilot key will soon take its place on some keyboards, debuting at CES 2024. Microsoft hasn’t revealed which manufacturers will adopt it first.

    Introducing a new Copilot key for Windows 11 PCs

    Now, folks online have been saying that the idea is ridiculous, criticizing Microsoft’s stance on bringing artificial intelligence into almost everything. In the end, you just can’t please everyone. 

     

    “Microsoft is not satisfied with inserting ads only in the OS, but is planning to insert them physically as well,” one Redditor says. 

     

    Calling the Copilot key an ‘ad’ seems off-base. It’s the most exciting keyboard change since the Windows key, which no one questioned. This is about utility, not marketing.

     

    “Please keep my PC free from all that AI s**t. I want to control my PC myself,” another one says. Of course, that’s not entirely true: it’s an assistant tool that’s called “Copilot” for a reason, and you use it to get help and suggestions on how to run programs on your desktops. 

     

    Anyway, what are your thoughts on this? Are you thrilled about the idea or are you against it? Let us know in the comments!

    I can see the integration of AI into Windows as being as divisive as Cortana was.

     

    Cortana was a good idea in principle, but was largely seen as excessively over-hyped and just plain in-your-face annoying, and got strongly rejected by Windows 10 users.

     

    Time will tell.

     

    What do you guys think? Will you welcome it, cautiously try it out, or be looking for ways to get rid of it?
