Find on Page in Microsoft Edge for Business will soon be integrated with Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat. Microsoft Edge for Business is introducing Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat to Find on Page (CTRL+F). This feature seeks to help users more easily find relevant content and save time.

What the actual shit?

Yes because just doing a stupid search of text in a page has been broken since web browsers existed.

For the life of me, I cannot understand smashing AI into everything as a replacement for search.

No co-pilot, I do not want you to use AI to try to find a document in my company's SharePoint. I want you to fucking look for a text match. No weird summaries, no guessing at what I might be meaning to find, search for this text string.

All these tech companies are pushing AI because it will allow them to make more profit from firing humans.

That's it.

But you never hear them considering replacing Executives and CEO's with AI.

Soon it's going to also have a manage window that will display a list of current running tasks...that is after they remove actual task manager. /s

What the actual fuck is the point of that, to hallucinate keywords into articles at random?!

natural language processing could be useful to find close words, but only if they redesign the ui to fit the additional parameters and it is disabled by default.

Fuzzy search using Levenshtein distance is not exactly a new technique. I'm pretty sure my first encounter with it was in the late 90s.

Not removing enough. Still a bloated, privacy nightmare.

It's easier if you just remove yourself
