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

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.

They sure fucked up SwiftKey

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.
