In all seriousness, if you show Bing Chat an equation, it will go through the steps and solve it clearly, it’s actually really helpful. I really don’t understand all this hate for AI just because it’s AI. New technology is cool and useful, and I’d understand hating it because it’s made by Microsoft, I try to use free software including free AI, but AI in itself is not bad or useless.
Nah I don’t hate AI but an AI cannot do math faster than the hardware designed to do it. It’s like saying an emulator is faster than the bare hardware. The AI would have to find a revolutionary new way of solving the equation to make it faster than the hardware.
Of course, they’re different types of things. You give hard equations with lots of x and y to a chatbot, or ask it about a method you don’t understand, so it can explain it to you.
They already did both of those. Paint has layers now and calculator got worse because they decided to split everything up into different modes which is a pain when you want to do hex conversions but also do non-truncated division, especially because it resets the history and storage when switching modes.
It seems to me like these apps are being redesigned by people who don’t use the features, or maybe with the primary design goal of reducing support calls from people who have no clue what they are doing.
Now do paint. Or even more useless: calculator.
No need to “fix” notepad. It does what it has to. If you’re a power user, you can download something else. But I’ll bet it won’t have Ai in it.
Why the fuck would I ever want AI in my calculators? Even Algebra never required AI in the past
Because AI is obviously better at solving math than the code programmers wrote. Duh. /S

You don’t want reasonably written, believable, factually dubious answers from your calculator?
I wouldn’t mind a bit of wolfram alpha
Because now it can be done on the cloud with AI for triple the time, also subscriptions.
It bills you each time you make a spelling error.
They sure fucked up SwiftKey

Well, MS has been supporting paint.net for a while now. It’s kinda like MS Paint but not completely terrible.
