Microsoft Notepad gets AI tools, users have mixed feelings
Microsoft is giving Notepad a big update—think spell check, dark mode, and multi-tab support.
With WordPad gone, Notepad is stepping up as the main text tool for Windows.
But while these features sound handy, some longtime users worry that adding AI might mess with the app's classic simplicity.
What's changing—and why people care
Notepad's new AI tools can rewrite or summarize text, which could be useful for quick edits or notes.
Still, forum discussions show plenty of skepticism about whether these upgrades are really needed.
Some folks wonder if more advanced AI features will make things too complicated—drawing comparisons to how even advanced AI tools like ChatGPT have their limitations.
The debate highlights how even simple apps are getting smarter (and maybe a bit more crowded with features).
