In a world saturated with artificial intelligence, Microsoft introduced a new feature called “Advanced Paste” for Windows 11, which infuses some AI into the conventional CTRL+C and CTRL+V commands. The lingering question is whether this addition is truly necessary.

What is the meaning of “Advanced Paste”?

Advanced Paste is a new feature in PowerToys, a Microsoft application that provides extra tools for Windows users.

This feature, enabled by AI, lets you manipulate the data in various creative ways within the transfer area. This includes tasks like text translation, code generation, paragraph summarization, and text rewriting in different tones, like formal emails or casual messages. To access these functions, you must connect an OpenAI account and purchase API credits.

Who desires artificial intelligence in every aspect?

While some AI applications are considered beneficial, others raise questions about their necessity. The introduction of Advanced Paste seems to fall into the latter group. Is AI truly required for basic tasks like copying and pasting?
