Thank you I was wondering!

Bring back more of this type of internet content!

Please!

I don't blame them for it, but I find it amusing how they present this as some wonderful new technology as opposed to simply that they're playing catch up with the other cloud providers offerings

it wasn't clear to me if this was the same as aws cloudwan (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/network-manager/latest/cloudwan/...) or some other kind of confusing network offerings to re-sell partner virtual appliances or what

Welcome to the trough of disillusionment.

You have got more patience than me. I have tried to use these tools to generate (basic) network diagrams and by the time I reached your third step I already knew that it was time to quit and draw it out myself. Diagrams need to be correct and accurate otherwise they're just art. I also need any amendments to be made to the same diagram, not to have it regenerated each time.

I do like the idea of another commenter here who takes a photo of their whiteboard and instructs the AI tool to turn it into a structured diagram. That seems to be well within reach of these tools.

I haven't used Claude yet, but heard many good things. So I'm surprised to see that they're so far behind on this feature.

Nice and slick.

Exactly the vibe I was going for! Thankyou for the feedback

Adverts that want to reach the target demographic, at any cost.

Sounds like the plot of a horror movie.

What, sentient information that pursues to be known by as many as possible?

Couldn't disagree more. Notepad is a place to dump snippets of unformatted text, for a temporary duration unless I explicity save the file. I already didn't like that they added the tabs feature and autosave recently.

If I want to do writing I'll use one of the 6 tools on my PC more suited to that task.

As a counterpoint, I'm on macOS where their latest AI writing tools are now implemented system wide. I also use TextEdit (approximately equivalent to Windows Notepad) and the Stickies app for similar text dumping ground behavior and yet, having the AI writing tools available on those two apps is incredibly useful. I often don't use it at all, but there are things I want to run through it and not having to move the text yet again to another app is nice.

It's _also_ useful in my apps dedicated to writing and even the text areas of browsers. I think it's all about implementation though, Apple's writing tools are quietly buried in the context menu for most text inputs. Microsoft has a tendency to be pushy and in your face about their latest AI offerings like shoving it into the Start Menu, or making it a prominent and visible element of their UI (Copilot in VSCode, even when you're not a subscriber) and the Verge's screenshot isn't enough for me to judge this by.

The program that's roughly equivalent to TextEdit is WordPad, and Microsoft is in the middle of removing it.

WordPad would be a much better place to shove in a complex feature like AI.

Apple’s AI is way less intrusive.

So many people aren't even aware that other tools exist, can't install them for corporate policy reasons etc.

In these cases, the best tool is the one you've already got.
