Man, does ANYONE needs this? Probably no one. This addition is just another way to force people to use AI so they can gather more personal information about that person. Specially with Notepad.
Will people be able to do thing without AI on the future if it’s being pushed so hard on everything? Like, they want to make our brains smoother and dumber lol

You can either uninstall new version of Notepad or return to the old one using some registry trick (look it up).
Or you can download some version of Microsoft Notepad on the internet (probably not really that safe) or even ReactOS Notepad if you really insist of having such simple program, but using I’d recommend to use something like Notepad++ instead.
Nobody’s forcing you to use it. I didn’t even know it was there until this article pointed it out, and when I tried it in Notepad it turned out to need an Office 365 subscription that I don’t have. So by default I can’t use it even if I want to use it.
I wasn’t making a comment regarding forcing, I was sharing an anecdote how Microsoft themselves are offering free workarounds for features they want to get paid for.

The worst part is if I’m using a work computer or something, I can’t just type into notepad anymore without considering that a record is being made.
Is there a Windows+R “oldnotepad.exe” that just works pre-installed?
Notepad++ has a plugin that makes it the default even for things that would normally be go to Notepad.
I installed npp on one work computer but I don’t want to on the other one. I just want to use what is already installed.

You can use the feature for free by using Microsoft’s Copilot chat bot, making the subscription requirement even more stupid.
Again, that’s not forcing anything. That’s even less so - you have to deliberately go to an AI application in that case.

At least not there. For now.
