The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.
AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

Was in awe of the women doing synchronised swimming training

Wonder lies below the surface of this truly fantastic sitcom from the creator of Detectorists. It’s an impossible marvel of TV making

I'm not particularly blessed with artistic flair - I'm in awe of my kids' far greater flair with pen, pencil and more.
