You're using the wrong tool.

Hell, notepad is the wrong tool for every use case, it exists in case you've broken things so thoroughly on windows that you need to edit a file to fix it. It's the text editor of last resort, a dumb simple file editor always there when you need it.

Adding any feature (except possibly a hex editor) makes it worse at its only job.

... I don't use Notepad. For anything. Hell, I don't even use Windows.

Not sure where the wires got crossed here.

Yes as others said, the op mentioned notepad and you said notebookllm.

I thought you were talking about notepad and it's new ai features.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

I had no idea notepad + AI was a thing. It sounds farcical, so I assumed wrongly it was a reference to NotebookLLM. My mistake. I shouldn't have assumed OP was just being dismissive.

Then either you replied with your first post to the wrong post or you misread "windows putting AI into notepad" as notebookLLM? Because if not there is nothing obvious connecting your post to the parent

I don't think anyone is putting AI into Notepad. It reads to me like a response to NotebookLLM but maybe I was wrong.

I did at least explain what my vision is and why I wanted it which.... doesn't sound anything like Notepad, I think.

I don't think [...]

Well, you think wrong: https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2024/11/06/new-ai-experiences-for-paint-and-notepad-begin-rolling-out-to-windows-insiders/

Might be, but the person you responded to wrote about windows putting AI into notepad, so everyone assumed you were responding to that and not writing about something that was not even mentioned

I stand corrected. Thank you. I hadn't heard about that. Notepad has always been no frills, and I can't see integrating AI with that over just using AI, but they are and it seems silly, I agree.
