Microsoft pushes Bing, GPT-4 in Chrome pop-up adverts (www.theregister.com)

From the article:

What's really gross is the next part. Clicking "Yes" installs the Bing Chrome extension as well as changing the default search provider, and Chrome alerts the user in another dialog box that something potentially malicious is trying to update their settings. Google's browser recommends you click on a "Change it back" button to undo the tweak.

But Redmond is one step ahead, displaying a message underneath Chrome's alert that reads: "Wait – don't change it back! If you do, you’ll turn off Microsoft Bing Search for Chrome and lose access to Bing AI with GPT-4 and DALL-E 3."

Feels a little odd putting this under "technology"

The lastest Windows update installed an LLM called Copilot and I'm pissed. You can't uninstall it either.

Copilot is the same feature they’re heavily pushing in Bing and the Edge browser, and pretty much every other product. It’s ChatGPT.

Windows will only get worse. If you think Windows 11 is trash, imagine how much worse Windows 12 or Windows 13 is going to be.

Recently noticed that Skype forces you into Edge whenever you click a link rather than following your default browser settings like it always did before, on top of the obnoxious pushing of chat bots and music stations at the top of your contacts list.
