Copilot Components

Copilot is a cloud-based AI. It will require either Azure Active Directory (work/school), or Passport (MS Account) for supported apps to connect.

I mean there is no direct component named Co-pilot in ntlite and there is nothing about copilot in compatibility tab.
Here is my preset for 23h2.

Copilot is a cloud service, it's not a local Windows component you run. When MS rolls out the Monthly Updates, apps will gradually get new features to interact with the Copilot API. The apps are being rewritten, not Windows itself.

MS will support Copilot-enabled apps for W10 22H2, which is the last W10 release. Because only apps will be replaced, they're not breaking the rule about not adding new Windows features to a "done" OS.

I'm not yet up to date with this whole AI thing in Win11. The aspect of Copilot being a cloud(-only) service has changed since 24H2 March preview update KB5053656, right?

Yes, there have been traces of "Copilot" in Windows for quite some time now.

For most users, Copilot is a cloud-based experience because their PC doesn't have a NPU (or one that is powerful enough to meet Copilot requirements). Eventually more PC's will have that hardware.

Windows 11 AI components are for developers to play with creating AI models on local PC's. But the Copilot-powered apps need to be cloud-based, since those AI models need massive databases to learn from, and those data sets cannot possibly fit on your PC.

One day you will have local AI agents which can learn from your personal activity (Recall). But this won't be the same as "ask Copilot to summarize this long document and make me a Power Point". Which is why MS is now in giant arms race to build massive datacenters to house servers that will service your Copilot requests.
 
Not quite related, but do you think it's going to get harder, or outright impossible, to remove all this AI crap from Windows in the future? I've just done a 24H2 build few months ago and I'm wondering if this might be my last Widows build. I really don't like the idea of switching to Linux but the recent "every Windows 11 PC is an AI PC" news make me wonder if I'll be able to keep this AI garbage out of my Windows PCs for long.
 
Most (perhaps not all) could be removed from Windows
For now, the "real" AI components are installed on NPU machines.

Right, all my my PCs are old school non-AI hardware, and my current build is clean of any AI but MS apparently just released an update that installs Copilot on all kinds of PCs, not just the ones with an NPU. I have feature updates disabled so I'm good for now. As garlin said above, it's a cloud based service, for now, but there has been a talk of "Microsoft NVIDIA AI", and not just the Azure integration, but desktop stuff that will do on device processing if you have an NVIDIA GPU. I'm just thinking that this AI integration is going way too far and way too fast.
 
Yes, most of the AI is in the cloud, but some (some traces) is on the OS.
I haven't seen the update for this, or maybe it's in Insider, I haven't looked yet.
