“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

As much as I hate the idea and do not intend to be a part of it, I think their idea is that you won't be thinking in terms of folders anymore. You'll just say what you need. According to them

I recall articles that younger generations don't even really understand the concept of folders or files per se, because they've learned about them differently on smartphones.

The Youngs have no clue about explorer or folders or anything like how to edit and print a pdf. There's NO WAY they'd ever touch a Command line. They are the boomers of now.

I've hired them. I've seen it. We are doomed.

They don't even know how to use a gamepad nevermind a keyboard and mouse. If it doesn't have a touchscreen and big shiny icons it's too complicated for them. One step closer to Idiocracy.

There's exactly one generation that knows how to actually use computers. When we retire in 30 odd years it's going to be a big problem because no one's going to know how to do anything.

Yep. Thank goodness I got into it young. Its insane how dumb people are now all because they didn't grow up with dos. Everything has dumbed down so much, they know nothing more than poke a button on a gui.
