Microsoft is starting to integrate AI shortcuts, or what it calls AI actions, into the File Explorer in Windows 11. These shortcuts let you right-click on a file and quickly get to Windows AI features like blurring the background of a photo, erasing objects, or even summarizing content from Office files.

Four image actions are currently being tested in the latest Dev Channel builds of Windows 11, including Bing visual search to find similar images on the web, the blur background and erase objects features found in the Photos app, and the remove background option in Paint.

Was arranging a completely unrelated service with a client today and apropos of absolutely nothing he went full jaw-foamingly off his tits about how shite win11 was.

Microsoft will have AI tracking everything I do and taking screenshots as well. Just what I have been asking for. /s

They're better make it so the context menu doesn't take 2s to fully load while moving the bottom rows around first.

Bitch, every valid action for a file is in the diving registry, sorted by file type. Why do you need to think about this?

No they're not because I'm on Linux

Worst part is people will keep using this garbage. The brain rot is so real.

Only one of those things could be called AI.
