In outlook
At least the current version gives you a choice and remembes it. Outlook a few years ago, after an update, required you to open links in their built in web view. Took them a few months to reverse course on that stupid decision.
GPT-4 powered
thanks for the warning!
now let me find something that works instead
gpt-4 powered browser
kill me

Why the fuck would I want a browser with AI?
This could be asked of a thousand million other products in the past three years.
But hey, here I am replying to this comment from my AI powered pants zipper, so…
Oh neat how’s that? I’m using my buttplug. Really wish it had WiFi. The cat 6 cable can get limiting
That’s a safety tether.
It has its ups and downs
GPT-4 powered browser
No faster way to get me to avoid your product than by jamming AI where it’s not needed
GPT-4 powered browser? Like they needed to make Edge an even less attractive offering or what?
It’s like how they’re adding the useless copilot key to every single laptop that ever is released
“recommended by microsoft” kills me.
I don’t know what fucking idiot they think is going to say to themselves “well fuck if Microsoft recommends it that’s the way we go!”
I think the average user sees recommended and just goes with it.
That’s fucking nuts.
Tbh a lot of users might just click without even reading what this message says.
Have you not been paying attention for the past 50 years?
Not sure what you’re alluding to. I’ve been paying attention for the last 30 (how long I’ve been using computers). During my childhood I used Windows at home and macOS at school; eventually I moved on to Linux at home then a mix of Linux and macOS.
I haven’t used Windows since Windows XP so it’s really just a guess what you might be getting at. Am I to assume that OS vendors making poor suggestions in their UIs is normal?
GPT-4 “powered” lol
I also recommend myself.
Oh boy, a ChatGPT powered browser! Maybe it can hallucinate what I bookmarked and lose or leak all my passwords ☺️
Autofilling all URLs to something completely different could be a fun way to browse
Can’t wait for GPT in my email client, so that it falls for phishing schemes when I’m relaxing.
I can tell you aren’t using outlook
Yeah the place I work implemented the “enterprise version” of outlook with their garbage AI built in.
I’ve never used the AI once, and if they don’t give a shit about company data that’s fine by me
I’d take that in a heartbeat. I want my meetings and emails summarised, minutes written for me.
That’s the kind of daily crap I don’t want to have to do myself.
I work in IT at a company who uses outlook, but has locked down the phones so the users can’t install anything.
I can say without a reason of the doubt that outlook on Android is hateful.
It’s still a 2010 era android app with non of the desktop features working. Like the signature not syncing with your saved ones. And focused inbox hiding important emails.
But since the phones are locked down. These dark patten ads are twice as annoying since the user thinks there phone is broken. They just removed the Microsoft 2fa prompts on setup. But I saw this and almost cried.
Don’t assume that users are smart enough to read or understand how this works. They press buttons until it works. If we didn’t force google play to not allow edge to download our users would’ve been in a much harder situation to support.
I really wish users would learn the slightest bit how to use their shit
they are desperate for someone to use their spyware filled Browser with AI shoved down your throat
I’m surprised it gives you the choice instead of the usual Microsoft nag: Set Default or Later.
God ChatGPT sucks so much.
ROFL This level of desperation goes to show how shit the actual experience of using Edge truly is. It wasn’t bad, before they injected Edge with AI bullshit and bloated it with other trash.
It’s not any worse than Chrome, which isn’t saying much. Firefox is still the best user friendly browser, IMO.
I use Firefox on mobile and desktop, it is my preferred browser at the moment. I still think Edge is a bit worse due to the kitchen sink approach Microsoft takes with it, Chrome is definitely competing in the worst browser space.
