Trying to think of a programme less necessary to deploy AI features on than fucking Notepad
The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.
The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.

Walking to work the other day, saw the news playing on a TV in the lobby of a building
Thermal camera footage of the capsule in the ocean with a "ISS EVACUATION" chyron.
