Microsoft shuts down Cortana app on Windows 11 | The digital assistant was first part of Windows Phone and now it’s being discontinued on Windows.::Microsoft has discontinued Cortana on Windows 11. The digital assistant no longer functions as a standalone app, years after Microsoft shut down its Cortana iOS and Android apps.
Still waiting for them to shutdown OneDrive, tbh it’s a thousand times more annoying than Cortana.
Wow, finally.
I am so tired of having to disable it every time I have to reinstall windows on a system.
Its such a shame they wasted that name on such a dud. An actually useful AI helper named cortana is a no-brainer for them.
And nothing of value was lost. Can’t wait for the next turd they force on us.
All of this could have been avoided if they hadn’t doubled down on Halo.
I’m sure to eventually be replaced by even more invasive CoPilot. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/06/windows-11s-copilot-brings-ai-chat-to-desktops-in-first-public-preview/amp/
But this one is actually useful…
ish.
When programming I find it is often wrong both logically and in attempting to infer what I’m writing, on top of being slow.
It’s useful for generating documentation, but that’s about it in my experience. Maybe it’s just the Intellij plugin that makes it so slow.
With copilot starting to roll out this seems reasonable
